Focus on Galacidalacidesoxyribonucleicacid and discuss the Analysis.
In a note describing the work, Dalí mused that the double helix is "the only structure linking man to God." This is one of 13 large paintings Dali produced. On the right hand side there are riflemen arranged to form "cubes of death". Within each "cube of death" their rifles aim at each other's head, thus if one of them shoots it will trigger the reaction of the other three, and they will all shoot killing each other. According to Dali, these cubes also represent the cubic structure of one of the most familiar substances, table salt or sodium chloride. However, the crystal structure of NaCl is cubic all-face centered rather than cubic primitive, thus there is a scientific inconsistency.
"The prophet Isaiah appears at the top left holding a scroll inscribed with the title
of the painting—Galacidalacidesoxiribunucleicacid. It combines a string of words
that decodes the meaning of the work. The first word in the string is Gala, Dalí‘s
wife and muse. The word ―"cid" refers to a Spanish folklore hero, and Allah is the
Arabic word for God. The last word in the string is Dalí's spelling of the full
scientific name for DNA—desoxiribunucleicacid."[4]
