1944. he is dead. but his arm moved a lot.
This clue posted on dredg.com, refers to the year in which the painting was done. Dali died in 1989, and he painted many paintings, including the one to the left. One of Salvador Dali's goals in his art was to depict ideas that come from the subconscious while dreaming. The painting to the left is titled: Dream Caused By The Flight Of A Bee Around A Pomegranate One Second Before Awakening.
Dali commented on his own work......."For the first time, Freud's discovery that a typical narrative dream is prompted by something that wakes us was illustrated in a picture. If a bar falls on a sleeper's neck, it both wakes him and prompts a long dream that ends with the falling of the guillotine; similarly, the buzzing of the bee in the painting prompts the bayonet prick that wakens Gala. The burst pomegranate gives birth to the entirety of biological creation. Bernini's elephant in the background bears an obelisk (a tall, four-sided shaft of stone, that rises to a pointed pyramidal top)" and also shows the papal insignia.
Dali often described his paintings as “hand painted dream photographs,” and specialized in what could be called “oneric paintings [which are] paintings which refer to or duplicate the condition of dreaming.”
Dali also commented on Modernization; "do not bother about being modern - unfortunately it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid"
