This is Shirley Temple, The Youngest, Most Sacred Monster of the Cinema in Her Time by Salvador Dalí, created in 1939.
It has all of Dalí’s landmark surrealist touches, along with offering a critique of America’s obsession with Shirley Temple at the time as well as commenting on the metamorphising effect of fame upon a young girl.
The trompe-l’œil label at the bottom reads: “Shirley! at last in Technicolor.”
I love surreal art’s ability to highlight the unreality of our lives.
This image is by Ernest Chiriaka, an American artist who used the pseduonym Darcy, and was famous for his paintings of alluring, siren-like women for novel covers in the 1950s and 1960s.
This one was used for a novel called Yesterday’s Virgin by John Fulough.
She is one sexy dame.
