Description
Terpsicore is one of the famed nini Mythological muses. In creating his version of the muse of dance, Terpsicore, Dali uses a reflected image, setting the soft, carnal muse against the hardened, statuesque one. The lack of definition in both faces clearly underlines the purely symbolic signifiance of these figures. The danscer with the smooth and classical form represents Grace and the unconscious, while the other angular, cubist figure represents the ever-growing and chaotic rhythm of modern life.
