Yet another one of Dali’s enigmatic dreamscapes, Night Specter on the Beach, or Spectre du soir sur la plage was painted in 1935 and is a fine example of his visionary Surrealist works. It is believed that the beach is at Rosas in Costa Bravas, a beach he frequented as a child. The same beach appeared in other paintings as well. Depicting far away figures under a mysterious sky covered by glimmering clouds, and a man in the foreground gazing in the distance, it stands to show how one look at Dali’s paintings will not even get you close to beginning to understand his genius and vision. Night Specter on the Beach was sold by Sotheby’s in 2010 in New York for $5.68 million, becoming the most expensive Dali painting sold at an American auction.
