*The elephants', inspired by Gian Lorenzo Bernini's sculpture base in Rome of an elephant carrying an ancient obelisk, are portrayed with long, multi-jointed, almost invisible legs of desire along with obelisks on their backs, creates a sense of 'reality of illusion'. 'The elephant is a distortion in space,' one analysis explains, 'its spindly legs contrasting the idea of weightlessness with structure.' As Dali said: "I am painting pictures which make me die for joy, I am creating with an absolute naturalness, without the slightest aesthetic concern, I am making things that inspire me with a profound emotion and I am trying to paint them honestly." *Salvador Dali (1904-1989) - A Spanish artist renowned for 'surrealism', cubism, futurism, technical skill, precise draftsmanship, striking & bizarre images in his work.
