Watched - Sergei Tynku
I dreamed of my favorite painting by Salvador Dali, “The Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate, a Second Before Awakening.” I have never seen it in person, and I don’t even know where it is - in a distant museum or in the hands of some rich connoisseur. All I got was a file on a computer screen, and prints - a couple in books and one on a sheet of A2 paper. But this does not prevent me from loving her, just as many people love God, even without ever seeing him. They really hope to see him, to meet him someday. Well, it seems so to me. But I don’t really hope to ever see her. And I don’t understand whether I need this. It is enough to know that she was there, remember her mood and sometimes glance at her image somewhere.
When I saw her in a dream, she was alive and three-dimensional. But not like holography or images in a movie theater with special glasses. Her three-dimensionality was different. I could walk around it from all sides. And she was not frozen, she stirred and moved, breathed and swayed. I saw how the hairs shook on the shiny skin of tigers, and how the rifle shook as it swung on the bayonet. I was very hot, sweat flowed through me like streams from these terrible mountains in the Caucasus. And I flew down from the sky onto the backs of tigers, I flew quickly, the wind ran pleasantly over my skin. And the whole body froze in anticipation of falling into clean, fresh water, which would give lightness and coolness. There in the dream, I was just a little away from bliss, it was as if you had already brought a piece of snow-white melon to your mouth, with a honey sunburst on the inner edge cleared of seeds.
It was incredibly interesting whether I would have time to fall before waking up naked woman, causing her to shudder and open her eyes from the splashes that fell on her from my unity with the surface of the sea, or she will manage to wake up a little earlier, noticing how the top of my head will disappear under the water. Will she understand in this case that she has already woken up, and this is not a dream, but a new strange reality. Will she talk to me after I surface and shake off the moisture from my eyelids? And in what language? Will we understand each other? She is the person from the picture about the dream, who lives inside my dream. Will these universes of closed eyes intersect, and will Salvador Dali with his incredible mustache, leaning on a crutch, laugh from somewhere under the heavens?
It has long been recognized that time is a relative quantity. It can drag on forever, or, conversely, fly by in a second, like a Japanese high-speed train passing a platform in the suburbs of Tokyo. So in this flight inside a three-dimensional painting, in literally a split second you have time to think about so many different things, ask yourself a million questions, feel the upcoming pleasure of swimming and the delight of seeing a masterpiece of painting live with the most incredible details and details, marveling the beauty of a fragile moment that will change irreversibly before you have time to exhale the air you have collected in your lungs - the lightest and most pleasant air, which seems to have the taste of the purest in the world mineral water with a hangover.
Tigers will fly by and disappear somewhere in the distance beyond the horizons as striped dots, so small that for a second you will mistake them for bees. The woman will smile and sit down, straightening her hair. The elephant will blow its trumpet from under the heavens like ten Titanics, and then, stretching out its trunk, will drag the pomegranate somewhere to itself. gold fish will disappear into the depths, and from a distant cliff a guitar will slowly float, swaying on the cherry-colored waves. Salty drops will flow down its strings sea water, and it will seem that these are tears, looking at which George, sitting on an elephant crossing the sea from that very India, will write his immortal “While My Guitar Gently Weeps” literally a second before falling into his dream, colorful as oriental patterns . Everything will continue to move and change. And our dreams will always be with us. And after us.
A dream caused by a bee flying around a pomegranate, a second before waking up. painting (Salvador Dali) She slept, tired from the caresses of love, model and muse of Salvador. And he stood on silent watch and caught the image of the “festive” Gala. Freudianism was in vogue at that time. Dali dreamed of capturing with a pattern the surrealism of the moments of the gaze, from awakening from dreams. On the sheets in front of the tender body, the pomegranate, a gift of carelessly thrown nectar seeds, beckoned the bee. The buzzing irritated the girl so much that she sleepily drove it away with her chiseled hand. And the insect stabbed her with a poisonous sting. Perhaps this really was the case. The artist painted that picture. Elena lies on a slab of rock from hypnos, torn out by the force of tigers, A dagger sticks out in her hand. Bernini's elephant walks on the horizon. From now on she is between two worlds of canvas. Dali's talent passed on that dream to us!!! A few explanations from Wikipedia. “A dream caused by the flight of a bee around a pomegranate, a second before waking up” (Spanish Sue;o causado por el vuelo de una abeja alrededor de una granada un segundo antes de despertar) is a painting by the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali. Located in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid. Information about the picture[edit | edit wiki text] One of the painting's sources was a poster of circus tigers, and Dali retains much of the vibrant spontaneity associated with poster art. The bee and pomegranate appearing in the title are depicted small, directly under the body of the woman stretched out in a dream. She is undoubtedly another portrait of Gala, shown floating above (rather than resting on) a stone slab that is washed by a sea of the unconscious. The real bee and pomegranate pale before the images they generate - a huge pomegranate fruit, a fish bursting out of it and two tigers in all their snarling ferocity, which the fish spews from its mouth. More traditional Freudian images - a rifle with an attached bayonet and a fantastic elephant on stilt legs - complete this momentary dream, which clearly has not yet had time to disturb the sleeper’s peace. Salvador Dali wrote about his painting: The goal was to depict for the first time the type of long, connected sleep discovered by Freud, caused by an instantaneous impact, from which awakening occurs. Just as the fall of a needle on the neck of a sleeping person simultaneously awakens him and long sleep, ending in a guillotine, the buzz of a bee here triggers a sting that will awaken Gala.

Her father Ivan Dyakonov was a modest official who died in 1905. Mother, Antonina Deulina, remarried lawyer Dimitry Ilyich Gomberg. Elena called the latter her father and took her middle name after his name. After 1905, the family moved to Moscow. At the same time, it is reliably known that Elena’s maternal grandmother lived in Tobolsk, her family owned gold mines in Siberia. In Moscow, Elena studied at the M. G. Bryukhonenko Women's Gymnasium (Bolshoy Kislovsky Lane, 4). The Tsvetaeva sisters (Anastasia and Marina, a famous poetess) also studied there. In 1912, she was sent to the Clavadel sanatorium (Switzerland) for treatment for tuberculosis. There she met Paul Eluard, whom his father, a wealthy real estate dealer, sent to the same sanatorium. Elena Dyakonova's ardor, determination, and high culture impress the young Eluard. She called herself Gala or Galina, and Eluard nicknamed her Gala - with the emphasis on the last syllable. With her began his first impulse of love poetry, an impulse that would continue in his further works. In 1917 she married him. A year later their daughter Cecile was born.

She slept tired from the caresses of love,
model and muse of El Salvador.
And he stood on silent watch
and I caught the “festive” image of Gala.
Freudianism was in vogue at that time.
Dali dreamed of capturing with a pattern
surrealism of moments of gaze,
from waking up from dreams, it was knotted.
On the sheets in front of a tender body,
pomegranate as a gift thrown carelessly
the bee was attracted by the nectar of grains.
The buzzing irritated the girl so much,
With a chiseled hand she sleepily drove away.
And the insect stabbed her with a poisonous sting.
Perhaps this really was the case.
The artist painted that picture.
Elena lies on a slab of rock
pulled out of hypnos by tigers by force
A dagger sticks out in his hand.
Bernini's elephant walks on the horizon.
From now on she is between two worlds of canvas.
Dali's talent was passed on to us by that dream!!!

Dali depicted Gala lying on a stone slab. One tiger jumps on Gala, the other is devoured by a fish that comes out of a pomegranate. All this is another Dali nightmare. There is an elephant in the background long legs, he is also a frequent figure in Dali’s paintings. All the figures seem to be suspended in the air, creating a feeling of sleep. In front of the first tiger is a gun, which is resting and is about to stick into Gala’s hand. She sleeps and does not suspect anything, but upstairs there is a thicket of events, impending danger.

“A dream caused by the flight of a bee around a pomegranate, a second before awakening” (Spanish: Sueño causado por el vuelo de una abeja alrededor de una granada un segundo antes de despertar) is a painting by the Spanish surrealist artist Salvador Dali. Located in the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum in Madrid.
In 1667, on the initiative of Pope Alexander VII, a monument in the form of an elephant carrying an Egyptian obelisk on its back was erected in Rome on Minerva Square. The sculptor of the monument was Gian Lorenzo Bernini. It is assumed that the source of inspiration for the creation of the sculpture could have been a woodcut illustration from the novel “Hypnerotomachia Poliphylos”. This novel by an anonymous author was published in 1499 at the printing house of Aldus Manutius. The plot is based on the hero's dream, in which he witnesses various fantastic pictures and events. Among other things, he comes across a design with an elephant pierced by an obelisk. In the publication of the novel, one of the illustrations depicted this elephant.
When painting the painting, the artist’s goal was to depict the type of long-term meaningful dream discovered by Sigmund Freud, which is caused by an external stimulus, which simultaneously creates a dream and provokes awakening. In the background of the painting is an elephant with long, thin, jointed legs and an obelisk on its back. In a similar way, the artist depicted Bernini's monument in a surreal way, which is a reference to the story of Freud, when he had a dream about the funeral of the Pope, caused by the ringing of bells. Dali liked the image of an elephant on long, thin legs, and the artist used it in his other works.
