Description
This image of this elegantsculpture was originally designed as part of the Dali’s famous Tarot series, which was created specifically for his wife and muse, Gala. The figure of Man with Butterfly leaves the banality of the everyday grounded world for that of the butterfly, whiwh, being lighter, will give the man wings and help him soar to a different physical plane – one where he can shed daily worries and habitual restraint.
