Magritte combines an ordinary bowler-hatted man with an apple concealing his face, creating a characteristic Surrealist image of mystery, identity, perception, and disrupted visual logic.
Dalí suspends a fragmented melting face within a dark stage-like space, combining sharp geometry, wax-like forms, frozen figures, and a gridded floor into a cinematic image of dream, memory, repression, and unstable identity.
