"Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man, 1943"

Salvador Dali (i) - Oil (i) - Surrealism (i)
Salvador Dali depicts the birth of a new world in his painting Geopoliticus Child Watching the Birth of the New Man. The man in the image is struggling to exit the egg whose yolk draw out the map of the world. The egg has often been read as love or hope in Dali's earlier work and here, through its cracks, it leaks placental blood. The man emerges what would be North America as Dali believed that the US was a rising power at the time, with his hand on Europe to support his endeavours. This conveys a sense of hope amidst a world torn apart by the events of World War II. The effects of the war can also be seen in the colour palette and the dreary landscape. On the side of the egg are an androgynous figure pointing towards it and a child holding on their leg as they watch the scene unfolds. Dali did not say much about this painting but left cryptic notes reading: "parachute, renaissance, protection, cupola, placenta, Catholicism, egg, earthly distortion, biological ellipse. Geography changes its skin in historic germination."
