● This painting has extraordinary proportions (4 x 3 meters). It's a combination of several resulting elements from its critical-paranoiac method. The boy observing is Dalí himself. It is said that being in NY, Dalí bought a box of pencils by the brand "Venus" which had a reproduction of the Milo's Venus, and then he expressed his desire to make this painting. Gala expression is due to the fact that she didn't like bullfights. In the bay, almost imperceptible and out of context, there is a woman in a yellow raft. The painter was worried about the consequences of the increasing tourism at Cabo de Creuss, although on the other hand, he thought that in the long run the rocks would overcome the visitors and will destroy the trash that they left behind. (This detail is so small that it must be seen in person. If you take a vacation to Miami, plan a trip to Saint Petersburg for at least one day to visit the Salvador Dali Museum. It is one of the most important collections of the world).

● Esta pintura de proporciones extraordinarias (4 x 3 metros) es una comb inación de varios elementos resultantes de su método paranoico-crítico. El niño que observa en la parte inferior del cuadro, es Dalí mismo. Se dice que estando en NY Dalí compró una caja de lápices marca "Venus" la cual tenía una reproducción de la Venus de Milo, Dalí expreso entonces su deseo de realizar esta obra. La expresión de Gala se debe a que a ella no le gustaban las corridas de toros. En la bahía casi imperceptiblemente y fuera de contexto hay una mujer en una balsa amarilla. Preocupaba al pintor las consecuencias para Cabo de Creuss del creciente turismo, aunque por otra parte pensaba que las rocas terminarían a la larga venciendo a los visitantes y destruyendo la basura que estos dejaban por todas partes. (Este detalle es tan pequeño que debe verse en persona. Si va de vacaciones a Miami, programe un paseo de al menos un día a San Petersburgo y visite el Museo Salvador Dalí. Es una de las colecciones más importantes del mundo).
