This is my favorite peace of art, because you have to stop for knowledge all the details that the painting shows. The first time I saw this peace of art I was 11 years old, on that time ,this painting makes me feel many estranges things that amazement me.
This is a painting by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí. This painting is from Dalí's paranoiac-critical period. It focuses on a double-image that causes the reflections of swans on a pond to look like elephants; the swans' necks and wings take on the appearance of trunks and ears when reflected, while the reflection of a tree-covered shore behind the swans supplies the elephants' legs and bodies. To the left is a self-portrait of Dalí facing away from the double-image. The figure of the man in the painting is Edward James, one of Dali's patrons and friends. I think that is incredible the ability that Dalí had to create different and particulars worlds between the paint and his imagination, the way that he had to materialized his dreams and the visions that he had was perfect , and I like it.
