swans reflecting elephant

Any great artist know how to move the human eye throughtout their artwork when one is observing their art. dali knows just how to do that with not just colours, but his repetition and morphing of figures throughout his art. Dali is infamous for cutting blocks out of figures and placing the missing pieces in totally different places in his art. Dali's art art is similar to looking through a Pictionary game, discovering all the hidden secrets in his paintings. Look for the repetition of his figures, but notice how he has changed them around to look like a new figure has been born. One good example of this is his painting Swans Refecting Elephant.
