Description:
|
The enriching friendship between Salvador Dalí and Federico García Lorca when they were both at the Residencia de Estudiantes resulted in a number of works by each artist. In this still life, echoes of Lorca are present in most of the motifs used: the guitar, the moon going down at the top of the scene, which Lorca would refer to in his Ode to Salvador Dalí: "Night, black statue of prudence, holds the moon's round mirror in her hand" and, above all, the bust lying on the table which looks like a portrait of Lorca. Dalí acknowledged the debt to PIcasso, but chose to paint the guitar as a "soft" form. He said, "This painting, directly influenced by Picasso, is clearly the precursor of my soft watches."
