Retrospective Bust of a WomanSalvador Dalí

106
Conceived in 1933 and reworked in 1977, this surrealist Retrospective Bust of a Woman transforms a classical female bust into a dreamlike object. With bread rolls for hair, a plastic band across the eyes, and surreal adornments like feathers and inkwashed wood, Dalí critiques traditional portraiture while blurring the line between desire, absurdity, and decay.
