Though no longer associated with the Surrealists, Dali never abandoned his Surrealist pursuits entirely. For example, he continued to refine his ‘paranoiac-critical method,’ a creative process of interpreting unconscious thoughts and feelings, into increasingly elaborate visual illusions called ‘double images.’ These double images are actually individual compositions depicting commonplace objects and surroundings from which multiple images emerge. The title Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach refers to three of the simultaneous images in the 1938 painting, though a careful study of the composition reveals a fourth image of a brown and white dog. Dali’s double image paintings were wildly popular with the American public despite Andre Breton’s criticism that the paintings were “entertainments on the level of crossword puzzles.” Ironically, even though he had been expelled from the Surrealist movement, the public continued to associate Dali with the group, a perception that neither he nor Breton could erase.
