The Great Masturbator (1929). The center of the painting is a bust spread out on a coastal cliff in Catalonia. On the back is a tiny female nude, which probably gave the painting its name. The woman's mouth is right next to the indicated male torso and clearly refers to the idea of fellatio. In the lower part of the painting is a locust, of which Dalí had a panic attack. However, the interpretation of the painting can be divided into several pages:-) The original is in the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid.

Dali painted picture The Great Masturbator in 1929. Prevailing color of this fine art print is yellow and its shape is landscape.
