MASTERPIECE #3506
Alois Binder, Austrian-German
Girl Being Painted By Salvadoor Dali, 1887
Oil on canvas
/// Though his shorts are all tattered with patches,
when he comes to her door she unlatches
it and stands where it’s bright
with a smile of delight,
as her image he lovingly scratches.
/// They are soulmates, of that, Eva’s sure.
Dolph’s affection is wholesome and pure.
Starry-eyed Loving Couple,
both strong, sturdy and supple,
but he can’t draw a caricature.
/// With some chalk, Dolph has sketched crude designs
through which he thinks her true likeness shines.
This is proof beauty lies
in the beholder’s eyes:
It’s some circles and several straight lines.
Salvadoor Dali?
/// He holds up lederhosen with belts;
(the suspenders were giving him welts).
Overcame her resistance
by rememb’ring persistence.
When he watches her now, the girl melts.
