ID 192444700 © Ralukatudor | Megapixl.com
This is a classic example of a Surrealist object, made from the conjunction of items not normally associated with each other, resulting in something both playful and menacing. Dalà believed that such objects could reveal the secret desires of the unconscious. Lobsters and telephones had strong sexual connotations for DalÃ. This piece was made for the English poet and collector of Surrealist art, Edward James. The telephone in this version was made by the Bell Company at Antwerp in Belgium, and has a Siemens handset made in London.
