Bibliography: Referenced in the catalogue raisonné "Le Dur et le Mou" by Robert and Nicolas Descharnes, page 165, number 412 "In the history of our civilisation, the iconographic power linked to the legendary figure of Dionysus has always existed, from Antiquity to the present day. It mobilised Dali's creative genius throughout his life. Going straight to the point, he modelled a faun's head, a symbol of the most violent voluptuousness, a sort of flame balancing on the volutes of his own hair". Describes Robert Descharnes.
