Dawn, Noon, Sunset and DuskSalvador Dalí

This painting (1979), inspired by pointillism, reinterprets Millet’s The Angelus through surrealism. The same praying figures repeat across bands of changing light that suggest dawn, noon, sunset, and dusk. Their elongated forms and shifting colors probe ritual, mortality, and time. The work treats prayer as a cosmic cycle, merging mystical atmosphere with everyday gesture to express fascination with eternal rhythms of existence.
