Clearly something horrible has happened to Dali in the years between the
peaceful image of lacemaking that he painted in 1926 and the almost apocalyptic
Actually, all joking aside, nothing horrible at all, from an art
history perspective. In 1926 he paints a copy of a masterpiece, and
later he deconstructs the same image in an exploratory way. This is
perhaps oversimplified, Dali would probably prefer we subscribe to his
invention, the Paranoiac-Critical method ('seeing double images') and
buy lots of his artwork . Apparently Dali was fascinated with the
organic and mathematically interesting shape of a rhinoceros horn at
the time, so that makes an appearance in the exploding lacemaker.
