Salvador Dalí - The Basket of Bread

Dalí depicted bread in many of his paintings, stating, "Bread has always been one of the oldest themes of fetishism and obsession in my work, the first and the one to which I have remained most faithful." In 1926, Dalí painted the Bread Basket for the first time; in 1945, he painted this second version, which he described as "the most esoteric and surreal of everything I have painted so far."
