Dali
painted "Burning Giraffe" during his exile in the United States.
Although Dali declared himself apolitical, "I am Dali, and only that.", this
painting shows his personal struggle with the battle in his home country.
Characteristic are the opened draws in the blue female figure, which Dali on a
later date described as "Femme-coccyx" (tail bone woman).
This phenomenon can
be traced back to Freud's psychoanalytical method, much admired by Dali. He
regarded Freud as an enormous step forward for civilization, witness his
remark. "The only difference between immortal Greece and our era is Sigmund
Freud who discovered that the human body, which in Greek times was merely
neoplatonical, is now filled with secret drawers only to be opened through
psychoanalysis."
The
opened drawers in this expressive, propped up female figure thus refer to the
inner, subconscious within man. In Dali's own words his works form "a kind of
allegory which serves to illustrate a certain insight, to follow the numerous
narcissistic smells which ascend from each of our drawers.
