Salvador Dalí - Sleep

In Le Sommeil (Sleep), Dali recreates the kind of large, soft head and practically nonexistent body that was so common in his paintings around 1929. In this case, however, the face is not a self-portrait. Sleep and dreams belong to the realm of the unconscious par excellence and are therefore of particular interest to psychoanalysts and surrealists.
