“Soft construction with boiled beans” measures 100cm x 99 cm, and is an oil on canvas painting created by Salvador Dali in 1936. 

Description - The image shows a beast like creature struggling against another creature, however, the beasts are so intertwined that they almost become one organism - this creates the appearance of the beast destroying itself. At the very top of the foreground is a face that appears to be contorting and wincing in agony; this face is attached to a horizontal torso-like form, the body of the creature appears to be deconstructed and reconstructed in an abstract form, so that we are not sure which body part is which. The creature is being help up by a crutch in the form of a box. In the middle ground of the image to the left is a quite realistic depiction of a man, who appears to be looking towards the ground. The background of the image is comprised of a desolate landscape or rock formations, which very far into the distance has some buildings.Scattered across the painting in random locations are boiled beans

The painting’s name was later changed to “Premonition of Civil War” which alludes to the Spanish Civil War of 1936. This painting creates a metaphor for the self-destruction and pain of the civil war, with the creature ripping itself apart, just as the Spaniards would rip their own country to pieces. The grimace, the contorted neck muscles, the elasticised torso, and the petrifying fingers and toes all integrate to create a vision of disgusting fascination and torture. Details such as the clear background shifting to a discoloured sky exemplify the drastic change, taking place at the time. The boiled beans in this painting represent that the amount of horror and carnage is something “one could not imagine swallowing …without the presence of some mealy and melancholy vegetable.” (Dali)

Soft Construction with Boiled Beans is an example of a Dali’s work that simultaneously expresses his sexual obsessions as well as his political outrage of the time.
