haunted figures🕯️
If "Portrait of My Dead Brother" (1963) catches your eye, "The Javanese Mannequin" (1934) might too—another work where absence takes shape & meaning lingers.
Created three decades apart, both works are bound by Salvador Dalí’s enduring fascination with death & ethereal figures. One confronts the ghost of a sibling he never met, while the other evokes a more anonymous dread seen as a rotting, otherworldly presence.
Together, they reveal how Dalí’s visions of death evolved over time, yet remained deeply surreal & impossible to forget.
