Soft construction with boiled beans - Civil War premonition ● Construcción blanda con judías hervidas. Premonición de la guerra civil
Salvador Dali, (1936) - Oil on canvas, 100 x 99 cm - The Philadelphia Museum of Art (The Louise and Walter Arensberg Collection), Philadelphia.

● This painting was finished six months before the Spanish Civil War. Various parts of one same body are hurting each other; it's Dali’s report concerning the atrocities of such event. The beans are offerings that attenuate evil spirits. Pressured to pronounce himself politically, Dalí stated that he was not Hitlerian or Stalinist, that he was simply "Dalinian".

La judías son ofrendas para apaciguar a los malos espíritus. Ante las presiones para que se pronunciara políticamente, Dalí afirmaba que no era ni hitleriano ni estalinista, que él era sólo daliniano.
