DalĂ, is that you? đ
In âDaddy Longlegs of the Evening-Hope!â (1940) and other works, DalĂâs self-portrait is represented in the form of this softened head. In early works, it symbolizes sexual anxiety. The shape of his soft self-portrait was inspired by a rock that resembled a human head in Cap de Creus, near his home in Spain.
