About Burning Giraffe
The Burning Giraffe (1937) reflects Dalí’s exploration of inner struggle and subconscious imagery. The elongated, flame-engulfed giraffe symbolizes human frailty and chaos, recurring motifs in Dalí’s premonitions of war.
About Salvador Dalí
Salvador Dalí (born May 11, 1904, Figueres, Spain—died January 23, 1989, Figueres) was a Spanish Surrealist painter and printmaker, influential for his explorations of subconscious imagery. Major themes in his work include dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. To the dismay of those who held his work in high regard, and to the irritation of his critics, his eccentric and ostentatious public behavior often drew more attention than his artwork.
