Original signed drawing.

India ink on paper.

Signed and dated " Salvador Dalí 1951 "

Studies for the illustrations on pages XIX and XXX of his Mystical Manifesto .

Splendid surrealist drawing by the Catalan painter featuring two altars with atomic decorations perfectly emblematic of his period of Corpuscular Mysticism .

In the left margin, Dalí adds with conviction:

Long live Gala!

Corpuscle and wave of my Misticism!

During this period of atomic mysticism, Dalí drew inspiration from atomic physics, where elementary particles separated by a vacuum maintain their equilibrium, forming a coherent whole on a macroscopic scale. The key work from this period is exhibited at the Gala-Salvador Dalí Foundation: Leda atómica .

In the Mystical Manifesto , Dalí explains the change that took place in him from the end of the 1940s: " The most subversive things that can happen to an ex-surrealist are two: first, to become a mystic, and second, to know how to draw: these two forms of vigor have just happened to me together and at the same time ."
