The Burning Giraffe, 1937
Salvador Dalí
I felt it time to try out, posting pictures, referencing and giving links.
Earlier this week I found this piece of art by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dali deep down in my bookshelf and started to assess and easily relate it to my Reflective thinking.
The human body filled with secret drawers only to be opened through psychoanalysis particularly attracted my eyes as it had a personal attraction, because at this point in my life I'm discovering news things; 'secret draws' about me everyday. Which in hindsight need a good bit of organising and structure to them.
The body almost looks as if she's reaching for something in the dark, blind of her surroundings, naive of the fact she's being propped up/held back by some sort of permanent stilt and at times I feel like since I've graduated I'm also reaching for things I can't see yet.
Another interpretation of what the falling drawers mean somewhat supports my links to my inner-feelings.
" The opened drawers in this expressive, propped up female figure thus refer to the inner, subconscious within man. In Dali's own words his paintings form "a kind of allegory which serves to illustrate a certain insight, to follow the numerous narcissistic smells which ascend from each of our drawers.draws falling out of her body. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Burning_Giraffe
