Atmospheric Skull Sodomizing a Grand Piano,
1934 In this painting the skull and the piano are invested with anthropomorphic characteristics so that a fossil remnant of human life indulges in an erotic act with a manufactured object. This reflects the way in which, as a result of paranoiac reasoning, inanimate objects became infused with life and objects from entirely different categories of being become associated and interact. More particularly it reflects Dali's knowing use of the Freudian theory of transposition. In The Interpretation of Dreams Freud explained that 'sexual repression makes use of transposition from a lower to an upper part of the body . . . one instance ... is the replacement of the genitals by the face in the symbolism of unconscious thought'. Freud goes on to demonstrate how the parts of the face - cheeks, lips and nose are homologous to the sexual parts of the female and male respectively. Transposition may thus be understood to be the migration of a set of characteristics from one bodily area to another. This mechan- ism is manifest in the way the skull has become invested with the character of male genitalia. Dali's extension of the notion of transposition is evident in the way that in this painting parts of the piano have assumed anal significance. Although extreme in the force of its irrationality - even by Dalinian standards - this image attains cogency through the way it simulates photography. This is one of Dali's smallest paintings and he often used a watchmaker's eyeglass when working on this scale, as evidenced by the minute and precise detail with which the setting has been described. Dali transcribed the view from his house at Port Lligat. This conjunction of elements drawn from delirium and from the real world implements literally the express aim of Surrealism, which was to bring about 'the future resolution of these two states, dream and reality . . . into a kind of absolute reality, a Surreality'. For this reason Dali's painting was at the cutting edge of the movement at this time.
