43. The Minotaur

One of the most represented mythological creatures in the history of art, the minotaur repeatedly appears in the work of Salvador Dali. The Minotaur encompasses themes such as duality, power or the awakening of the subconscious, being enclosed within the limits of the labyrinth and submitting to the suppression of primary instincts. In 1936, Dali worked on the cover of the surrealist magazine "Minotaur", published in Paris. He then revisited the motif and proposed an anthropomorphic figure, which poses like a model and which is attached, as in other works of the artist, some drawers. Symbols such as ephemerality or void come back to the attention of the viewers.
