In The Anthropomorphic Cabinet (1936), Dali transformed the cabinet into a female figure, or, as he put it, an "anthropomorphic cabinet." The female figure here is more lifelike. She is depicted reclining. Her head leans forward over the partially open drawers, and her hair falls forward so as entirely to obscure the face.
'Anthropomorphic Cabinet was exhibited, for the first time, in London in 1936 at the Lefevre Gallery. Dali, who had been a great admirer of Freud for many years, purposely wished to depict here in images the psychoanalytical theories of the great Viennese professor, where these subjects “are kinds of allegories destined to illustrate a certain complacency, to smell the innumerable narcissistic odours emanating from each one of our drawers,” and more precisely later “The unique difference between immortal Greece and the contemporary epoch is Sigmund Freud, who discovered that the human body, which was purely neo-platonian at the time of the Greeks, is today full of secret drawers that only psychoanalysis is capable of opening.'
