Dali-Self Construction with Boiled Beans: Premonition of Civil War

What I like about Dali's painting Self Construction with Boiled Beans: Premonition of Civil War is how it creates a a counter reality that is fantasy like. Upon first looking at the painting, I felt like I was looking at life on a different planet because the subject is so unusual and very inhuman-like. I think that's what draws viewers in. The bizarre and strange nature of the painting makes you question what it's all about. I also love the use of earthy colors.
