In this picture, Melancholy, Dali seems to be saying something about WWII. It appears as though there are three faces within the painting. One being composed of what appears to be clay with a plane transfixed to make the facial features. The tail wing of that plane appears to form a mustache on the face making think that this represents Hitler. There is another face directly above that and another to the direct right of that one. The plane inside the first one is dropping bombs and it appears as though the face above that one is looking on that scene with a sense of content. I also think Dali is making a statement of our past times during the war with his inclusion of baseball players.
