DEMATERIALIZATION

● Dali studied all great masters and showed respect for most of them. When Dali visited Picasso in Paris, he let Picasso know that he was visiting him before going to the Louvre, Picasso replied: “you did the right thing”. In the painting however, the musical instrument that the subject is offering out coming from his intellect, looks rather small. Even with the presence of flowers, the expression isn’t a friendly one. Perhaps Dali thought that Picasso’s perception capabilities were limited somehow (Nose) and that he also carried a great sense of guilt (Stone on the head).

● Dalí estudió a todos os grandes maestros y fue respetuoso con la mayoría de ellos. Cuando Dalí visitó a Picasso en Paris, le dejó saber que lo estaba visitando antes de ir al Louvre. Picasso le replicó “Hizo Usted muy bien”. En el cuadro sin embargo, el instrumento musical proveniente de su intelecto y que el sujeto ofrece, parece mas bien pequeño. Aun entre flores, la expresión no es amigable. Tal vez Dalí pensó que Picasso poseía una percepción limitada (nariz) y que también cargaba con un gran sentido de culpa (Piedra en la cabeza).
