A painting of colour, perspectives and portraits. The theme is an allegory of the 1936 International Exhibition of Surrealism and represents a lecture orated to the audience from the inside of a deep sea divers suit by the divine Salvador Dali.

The content of the lecture was inaudible to the audience. However, they thought they were being greatly entertained when Dali began flailing around in panic as he began to suffocate inside the diving suit and could not remove the helmet

Dali survived the ordeal and lived to paint many more pictures which we find so inspirational.
