David et Goliath 1964

"David et Goliath" (1964) is a surrealist watercolor by Salvador Dalí, known for his dreamlike imagery. The painting depicts a nude, androgynous figure with an oversized head, symbolizing Goliath, dripping blood from a large, gaping eye. A smaller figure, representing David, stands in the background, partially obscured and almost ghostly in appearance. This depiction highlights the psychological and dramatic aspects of the biblical story of David's triumph over Goliath. Dalí's signature style is evident in the distorted proportions, vivid colors, and dreamlike atmosphere, creating a disturbing yet compelling visual experience.
