The Feeling of Becoming is a late-1920s Surrealist composition by Salvador Dalí: a figure partly hidden behind a large translucent sheet, with a shadow cast across the fabric that seems to belong to something else. The palette is nearly monochrome and the horizon is flattened, so the scene sits in a psychological space rather than a real one. Dalí renders the folds of the cloth with a precise, almost clinical touch, which sharpens the irrational subject. It suits collectors of early Surrealism and Dalí's transitional period more than fans of his later, crowded canvases.

This is a surrealist composition by Salvador Dalí, a central figure in the Surrealist movement. He produced it in the late 1920s, a period of intense creative development. The style is stark and minimalist, unlike his later, more crowded canvases.
A large, translucent sheet dominates the frame. A figure partially hidden behind it holds the sheet aloft. The fabric works as a screen and shows a distinct shadow on its surface, suggesting a form separate from the cloth itself.
The palette is monochromatic. Sharp contrast between the light-filled fabric and the dark void around it creates a sense of isolation. The folds of the material are rendered in a precise, almost clinical technique. The horizon line is flattened, which removes traditional markers of depth and places the subject in a non-specific, psychological space.
