"Couple with Their Heads Full of Clouds" is a provocative 1936 Surrealism oil on wood diptych by Salvador Dalí. The work depicts tables set in a desert landscape, intricately cut out to resemble silhouettes derived from Jean-François Millet’s The Angelus. These double portraits portray Salvador Dalí and Gala Dalí, emphasizing both personal and symbolic themes through figurative imagery. The composition exemplifies Dalí’s mastery in merging dreamlike, fantastical elements with precise craftsmanship, characteristic of his innovative approach to Surrealism.
