Description
Salvador Dalì’s gouache “The Mill Tower” features six intertwined seagull heads in profile. Set against a backdrop of a painted brick tower, the repetition of the seagulls' arrangement mirrors the tower's structure. The intricate details, such as brick patterns in the feathers, suggest a sense of weight and rigidity, causing the ground to appear to bend beneath them. This piece, initially conceived as a draft for a three-dimensional mill tower, bears Dalí's signature crutch on the upper right, a recurring motif in his works. The outward-looking eyes of the seagulls and an enlarged eye in the lower right engage the viewer, adding a surreal dimension to this quintessential example of Dalí's art.
