Surrealist Piano

The Surrealist Piano is one of Dali's major iconoclastic symbols. The artist has chosen to transform the banal wooden legs of a piano, replacing them with dancing female legs, thus creating an animate, joyous instrument that can dance as well as play. Dali often blurred the lines between the real and surreal worlds, taking an inert and lifeless object, and, with a wave of this magic surrealist wand, created an entirely new fantasmagorical happening.
