The artist painted it in 1934, one year after the rise to power of Hitler. This is a reversed mermaid which stands for the fear feeling of the artist.
This canvas annouces the fascist conflict the surrealist artists had warned against.
In
1953, this chimera is depitcted again. Maybe this is a metaphor of
relationships caused by the cold war : frozen, dead, bitter. The
artist expresses his desillusion in regard to his humanist ideas.
