Enchanted Beach with Three Fluid Graces

One of my favorite artists is the Surrealist painter, Salvador Dali. His work isn't straight forward, it makes you think about what the message is he is trying to portray. Two different people could look at the same work of art and have completely different views on what it's about. Enchanted Beach with Three Fluid Graces is one such work that makes you wonder what the true meaning is behind the piece.

The color scheme is more natural with a hint of warm shades, like yellows and oranges. These set the tone of a very warm area, like a desert. There are three women standing with sheer, white dresses on. Proceeding from right to left the women begin to blend more with the background, like the head of the far right one seems to be where the large hole in the rock is. The one on the left's midsection has actually completely been unraveled, as if it was a garment in itself.

The message I get from this work is that these women appear to be strong and brave enough to stand up to almost anything. Yet, they do appear to have one weakness, in this case the heat. The strong heat seems to be unraveling them. This could pose the idea that everyone, no matter how strong they initially appear, has a weakness of some sort. We all have something that could "unravel" us in some way.
