Salvador Dalí’s swans lived in front of his house. He used their feathers for his experimental painting work with a sea urchin. Portlligat, Cadaqués,1957.
On the pebbly shore in front of his house in Portlligat, Cadaqués, Salvador Dalí confronts one of his swans in 1957. Dressed in a dark cap and jacket, the artist bends forward as the large white bird flaps its wings in an aggressive blur of motion. Dalí kept these swans and used their feathers for experimental painting techniques, which also involved a sea urchin. Behind them, a small rowboat rests on the land.
