Adults - Salvador Dalí - Sleep

In Le Sommeil (The Sleep), Dali recreates the kind of large, soft head and virtually non-existent body that was so commonly seen in his paintings circa 1929. In this case, however, the face is not a self-portrait. Sleep and dreams belong to the realm of the unconscious and are therefore of particular interest to psychoanalysts and surrealists.
