Enchanted Beach with Three Fluid Graces
1938
Material Used: Oil on canvas
Size: 25 5/8 x 32 inches
The Dali Museum, St Petersburg
This title refers to the Greek myth of the three Graces who represent beauty, charm, and joy. Yet, the inclusion of the rod and string suggests another Greek myth – the Three Fates. Known as the Moirae, the Three Fates control the thread of life of every mortal from birth through death. The Fate on the right holds a long spindle to weave the thread of life, the central Fate measures the life span, and the Fate on the left decides one’s death by cutting the thread.
