Three Sphinxes Of Bikini, 1947 by Salvador Dali



      It is a surrealist painting responding to the U.S. nuclear tests at Bikini Atoll. The composition features three figures—a tree, a human head, and a mushroom cloud—each mirrored as sphinxes, symbolizing transformation and decay. The barren landscape evokes desolation, while the repeated forms blur the line between nature, humanity, and destruction. Dalí analyses the devastation of war and mankind’s dangerous pursuit of power.
