Deux têtes empalées 1966

"Deux têtes empalées" is a watercolor painting by Salvador Dalí, created in 1966. The work depicts two heads impaled on poles. The head on the left appears to be a skull, while the head on the right has a more human-like face. The painting is characteristic of Dalí's Surrealist style, with its dreamlike imagery and bizarre juxtapositions. The painting's stark and graphic imagery makes a strong impression on viewers, highlighting themes of death, decay, and the fragility of life. The use of watercolor in this piece allows for the creation of distinct, vivid colors, such as the contrasting red blood against the white background.
