The original Weaning of Furniture Nutrition was created by Salvador Dali in 1934. This reproduction is high quality and entirely loyal to the artist’s original composition. Salvador Dali was always a dreamer, even in childhood. And many of his paintings would recount those visions he had experienced as a child both consciously and subconsciously.

Backs seemed to be a great point of interest for Dali. Here Dali’s aging Nurse Lucia has a window in her back – Dali’s Nurse was another favored subject for Dali. She sits on the beach with her head bowed: Her body slumped, propped up by the ever popular crutches which featured in his work from the thirties onwards. The side table at her feet has a smaller church shaped table with a medicine bottle on top standing beside it: Of which seems to have been cut out of the larger table: Sickness and death?

"I pressed myself closer and closer against the infinitely tender, unconsciously protective, back of the nurse, whose rhythmic breathing seemed to me to come from the sea, and made me think of the deserted beaches of Cadaques”

Indeed, the slumped position of Lucia is reminiscent of the net-menders who worked in the fishing villages around the artist’s childhood home: And we can see four fishing boats clearly to her left. However, the slumped aging figure and crutches of support may well reflect Dali’s recognition of her aging and his desire to support her: Another fascinating piece from the master of the Surreal.
