The Accommodations of Desire, painted in 1929 by Salvador Dalí, explores the artist's anxieties surrounding his passionate relationship with Gala, a married woman who became his muse. This small yet significant artwork depicts seven enlarged pebbles that symbolize Dalí's anticipation of his future. Among them are lions' heads, representing his fears, rather than accommodating his desires as the title ironically suggests. The composition also includes a toupee, a colony of ants symbolizing decay, various vessels (including one shaped like a woman's head), and three figures embracing on a platform. Dalí cleverly incorporates cut-out lion heads from a children's book, blurring the boundaries between reality and representation with his meticulous realism and vibrant colors. The artwork challenges viewers to question the authenticity of the depicted phenomena and the overall composition.
