The true title of this painting is "Gala Looking at the Mediterranean Sea Which from a Distance of 20 Meters is Transformes into a Portrait of Abraham Linconl (Homage to Rothko)". Also known as "Lincoln in Dalivision".
To celebrate the first anniversary of the inauguration of the Dalí Theater-Museum in Figueres, the painter organized a presentation in which he donated this spectacular painting of colossal size (445 x 350 cm), the largest that Dalí had ever painted, according to the press of the time. In 1976, Dalí painted a second version which can be seen now at The Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida.
