Salvador Dalí with his sea urchins. A swan's feather he puts in the sea urchin's mouth is allowed to slightly touch a sheet of blackened paper. The movements then made are traced on the paper. At Salvador Dalí's house, Portlligat, Cadaqués 1957.
Salvador Dalí at his home in Portlligat, Cadaqués, 1957. Seated at a table, he prepares to trace the movements of a sea urchin by placing a swan's feather in its mouth and letting it touch a sheet of blackened paper. The artist wears a patterned robe and a soft hat, his iconic mustache decorated with small white blossoms. His gaze is cast downwards towards a surreal still life that also includes a model sailboat and a dandelion clock emerging from another sea urchin shell.
