Year:conceived and first cast in 1980
Height:227 cm
Material:bronze
Technique:lost wax Edition Size:6 plus 3EA, 3HC
DESCRIPTION The image of an elephant carrying an obelisk is portrayed in one of Dalí’s best-known paintings The Temptation of St Anthony (1946). Dalí’s elephants have exaggeratedly long legs which raise them up towards the sky. These thin, multi-jointed legs juxtapose with the heavy body of the elephant. The obelisk alludes to a tiring burden, yet the artist distorts reality making it weightless, an illusion of it almost floating above the saddle. The combination of these contradictory elements create a sense of disarray and metaphysical imbalance that can only exist in a dream-like world.The legs of the elephant originally had claw-like feet during the sculpture’s creation. Doubtful of this element, Beniamino Levi President of the Dalí Universe, approached Dalí to modify it. After initial resistance and with Gala’s support, the feet changed to horses hooves.

Year:1968
Height:83 cm
Material:bronze
Technique:lost wax
Edition Size:6
 
DESCRIPTION
In this sculpture, Dalí combines two incongruous parts, substituting the head of a human figure with the head of a heron, sculpting a half-human, half-bird-like figure. Curves, drapes and hair emphasize the sculpture’s fluidity and sophistication. Dalí wishes to illustrate his vision of metamorphosis and his obsession with birds, and their anatomy. For the body of the sculpture, Dalí took inspiration from the statue of Antinous (1543) from the Belvedere Gardens in Rome, now part of the Vatican collections.
