dont get it so looked it up ... still dont get it
In 1933, Dalí produced two paintings titled The Enigma of William Tell. The smaller one has been lost, but was part of his first American exhibit, at Julien Levy’s gallery in New York. It was reproduced in the fifth issue of the magazine, Minotaure, and appears to have been a companion piece to the Spectre of Sex Appeal (1932), with which it shared many common images.
(Enigma of William Tell http://randomimage.us/23623.html?PHPSESSID=3e91b6f5b52bbd6cfd5e2f21549652ca) The larger Enigma, the one with the face of Lenin and a grotesquely elongated buttock held up by a crutch was described by the painter himself in 1974: "Sigmund Freud has defined the hero as he who revolts against parental authority and ends by defeating it. The Enigma of William Tell was painted at the moment the young Dalí revolted against the authority of his father but didn’t know whether he would be victor or vanquished" (qtd. in Ades 90). The father with the face of Lenin holds the baby Dalí in his arms. The child has a raw lamb chop on his head, about which, as Carlos Rojas points out, the painter has offered two different explanations: it symbolizes either his father’s desire to devour the young, defenseless Dalí, or the sacrificial substitute that will replace the son at the moment of actual bloodletting (Rojas 147). Next to Tell’s foot are two nuts that are about to be crushed. One is empty, but Gala is inside the other, suggesting, therefore, that the father was out to kill, not only his son, but his son’s partner, as well (Gibson 378).
