Salvador Dalí - The Basket of Bread

Dalí depicted bread in many of his paintings, stating: "Bread has always been one of the oldest themes of fetishism and obsession in my work, the first and the one to which I have remained most faithful."In 1926, Dalí painted the Bread Basket for the first time; in 1945, he painted this second version, which he described as "the most esoteric and surreal of everything I have painted so far." © Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, VEGAP, Barcelona 2020
