This work is another of what Dalí called his ‘paranoiac-critical images’ or optical illusions intended to undermine the viewer’s trust in the rational world.
Dalí has incorporated the January 1974 cover of Antiques magazine featuring the arched, glass transept of London’s Crystal Palace, which was built for the London Exhibition of 1851, into a double image of a woman’s face. Using gouache, he has subtly added to and altered the branches and leaves of the large tree in the middle ground to suggest the woman’s eye, nose, and lips. As in Dalí’s other double image paintings, when the face is seen, the trees disappear, and when the trees are seen, the face disappears.
