Dali

Toward the end of that remarkable sequence, one of the paintings referenced is Salvador Dali's "Apparition Of Face And Fruit Dish On A Beach." I've owned a print of this work for about 20 years, and I've stared at it for countless hours. Until now, I've never seen the face as female; it's always appeared to me as a man's face.

Isn't that odd?

That's an amazing Dali, I wasn't familiar with

I immediately saw a female face, but maybe that's because I am a woman. I think I considered the fuller bottom lip and a certain tip of the chin as cues. But isn't it great that the viewer can bring their own impressions to the painting? That's what I like about surrealism. Thanks for mentioning this painting, I will now have to spend time staring at it too.
