Morning Ossification of the Cypress, 1934

Author: Salvador Dalí
Print Type: Original Postcard
Publisher: Éditions Hazan
Print Condition: Vintage

Painted in 1934, Morning Ossification of the Cypress exemplifies Salvador Dalí’s unique ability to transform the ordinary into a dreamlike vision charged with psychological tension. Against an arid, luminous landscape, a towering cypress tree appears to harden into bone, its form caught between organic life and petrified structure. In Dalí’s symbolic language, the cypress—long associated with vitality and eroticism—becomes a striking metaphor for desire, transformation, and mortality. The work belongs to Dalí’s most inventive surrealist period and has been exhibited internationally, including at the Centre Pompidou in Paris and the Tate Modern in London. Today, this rare painting remains in a private collection, yet its enduring imagery continues to fascinate audiences, embodying Dalí’s vision of nature and the subconscious in a state of surreal metamorphosis.
