Description
When do studies date the painting back to?
Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War)
This is a painting made with oil on canvas that is located in the Philadelphia Museum of Art. Dalí painted it in 1936, but there were studies found of it that dated back to 1934. It is a picture of a geometric monster type creature and connected to a similar monster. The two creatures appear to be two parts of the same creature so that it appears to be wrestling itself. All over the background and on parts of the monster are boiled beans that look as though they are melting. The monster stands on trees and a brown wooden box. The background is a blue sky with clouds, that are darker in some parts and lighter in others.
