Snails and angels are Dali's favorite images, and they have repeatedly appeared in his works and become the main characters. Dali used the speed contrast between snails and angels to enhance the difference between them. The giant snail is crawling slowly. On its shell, an angel with a fork-shaped crutch is flying at a high speed. For Dali, crutches are great and contain dignity and peace. The size of the snail is also contrasted with the exquisiteness of the angel.
There is another reason why snails attract Dali. The spiral structure on the snail shell is considered to be one of the most attractive forms in nature and geometry. The angel is holding a crutch. Dali said that crutches convey a message of confidence and arrogance to him. He thought that these characteristics were exactly what he lacked before. Not only that, Dali also believes that crutches symbolize death, resurrection, power and ability.
-so that's it. I don't have to think about the origin of spinach and snails because of the words from this pervert, madman or even genius Dali. Because it was originally for me, a graduate of science and engineering, except for giving me visual pleasure, the rest were all absurd and incomprehensible than quantum theory.
"Oppose restraint and support unrestrained fanaticism"-what a fucking envy
What does spinach symbolize? I still want to find out, feeling should not be "constraint", is it the grapes that the sovereign treasure hangs on the ass? Bodhi became spinach in the west? Dali was destined to abandon Zi Xia for the Buddhist scriptures? Tell me, spinach! ! !
and that snail, with a shell, what snail has no shell? Is the shell just a habitual attribute or something else? Slow, spiral order should not be unrestrained fanaticism-puzzling.
