Venus de Milo with Drawers

Abstract

Painted plaster with metal pulls and mink pompons. Among Salvador Dali's many memorable works, perhaps none is more deeply embedded in the popular imagination than Venus de Milo with Drawers, a halfsize plaster reproduction of the famous marble statue, altered with pompon decorated drawers in the figure???s forehead, breasts, stomach, abdomen, and left knee. The combination of cool painted plaster and silky mink tufts illustrates the Surrealist interest in uniting different elements to spark a new reality
