Densification and electrification in 1930s New York altered daily cycles by making the nights less dark. House at Dusk (1935) captures the hinge hour when the rising city glow meets the last light of domestic life.
The Hallucinogenic Toreador (1969–70) uses repetition and negative spaces to create optical illusions. The same motif reappears until it clicks into a bullfighter, showing a masterful application of Dali's "paranoiac-critical method."
