At first glance, the orbs forming the image of a young man in Dalí’s “Portrait of My Dead Brother” (1963) appear to be Ben-Day dots. 🔎 Look closer and you will notice they are actually cherries. Together, these cherries make up the face of a young man – Dalí’s brother. In the center of the painting, just above his nose – two light cherries (representing Dalí) and two dark cherries (representing his dead brother) form a molecule, symbolizing Dalí’s identity as molecularly entwined with that of his younger brother who died prior to the artist’s birth. #Masterworks #TheDali
