“Little Ashes” - Salvador Dalí (1928)
Created in the summer of 1927, this painting marks Dalí’s experimental phase, influenced by his close friend Federico García Lorca. Dalí described his work in a letter:
“I am dying of happiness. I am painting naturally, without artistic consideration… A beautiful woman, smiling, with restless multicolored feathers… and in the sky, donkeys with parrot heads.”
The contrast between precise academic details, primitive animals, and Purist-style guitars reflects Dalí’s fusion of Cubism, Surrealism, and Bruegel-like primitivism.
Originally titled The Birth of Venus, it was exhibited as Sterile Efforts in Madrid (1929) and later in Dalí’s first solo show in Paris. Signed and dated 1928, it remained in Dalí’s collection until his death in 1989. 2 replies
