Here’s the orbital period of our solar system’s 8 major planets (how long it takes each to travel around the sun). Their size is to scale and their speed is accurate relative to Earth’s. The repetition of each GIF is proportional to their orbital period. Mercury takes less than 3 months to zoom around Sol, Neptune takes nearly 165 years.
fuck this gifset do you know how long i sat here waiting for fucking neptune to drag its lazy ass into the frame
Dalí was clearly influenced by the paintings of André Masson, who also was using sand as a medium during the late 1920s. However, this painting also features a clear departure from the early surrealist work in that it does not involve automatism, which was still the prevailing guiding principle at the time. Dalí was influenced by Miró, Arp, and most prominently, Picasso to create the nebulous central character. The donkey is nibbling at the central character’s leg. Flies surround its decaying head.
