Dali's title - meditating the hustle and bustle of the Mediterranean, and a portrait of Abraham Lincoln (a tribute to Roscoe) - 20 meters - provides a complete description of the painting. When standing near, I saw Gala headed to us and the sun rising over the Mediterranean. The burning sun has an image of Christ rising from above.

This dual image painting provides meditation about the duality of things. In addition to the theme of vision and insight, the work also refers to the theme of life and death and Dali's Spain and the American identity. The beauty of Gala is comparable to the death rate including the assassination of the president's attention, the crucifixion of Christ, and the devotion of Mark Roscoe who committed suicide in the 1970s.
