This painting is the basis for Luis Romero's biography of its artist "All In One Face." Photographs taken during work on this painting confirm that the artist borrowed the image of a chair from Juan Gris's Still-Life On a Chair. A woman on a floating raft symbolizes incoming hordes of tourists, which the artist hoped would be repelled by a second instance of the miracle of the flies. The outline of a dog in this painting is based on an optical illusion photograph of a dalmatian by R.C. James. This painting was the last one by its artist that was acquired for the collection of A. Reynolds Morse, and is now in a (*) Florida museum founded by Morse. The shadows across the torso of a woman in this painting also appear to form the outline of a hidden face, with the woman's left breast serving as the nose. That woman wears a skirt which has the shape of a white shirt and green tie, while the woman next to her wears a red cape for her skirt. The face of the artist's wife Gala appears in the upper left surrounded by a halo, and the center of this painting is dominated by a long line of copies of the Venus de Milo. For 10 points, name this Salvador Dali painting inspired by bullfighting.
