Terpsichore, according to Greek mythology was one of the nine Muses; the sisterhood of goddesses who acted as patrons of the arts. In creating this version of Terpsichore, the muse of choral song and dance, Dalí uses a double image, setting the soft carnal muse against the hardened statuesque one. In both cases, the face is not clearly defined in order to underline the purely symbolic significance of these gracious figures. The dancer with the smooth, classic form, represents inner harmony and the subconscious, while the other cubist figure represents the chaotic rhythm of modern life, from which we see branches sprouting, symbolising rebirth and regeneration. Both figures dance side by side within each of us, one representing grace and a balance of emotions, and the other the vibrancy of life.
