Three Young Surrealistic Women Holding in Their Arms the Skins of an Orchestra
(1936)
Oil on canvas
21 1/4 x 25 5/8 inches

Three shapely, but enigmatic young women, standing on a beach, holding several orchestral instruments that are fluid and seem to be sliding away in the same way that Dali's melting watches do. Again, in the background we have the landscape of Catalonia, the rocky crags that line the Mediterranean Sea near Port Ligat and Cape Creus.
