'''''The First Days of Spring''''' is an oil and collage on panel painting by the [[Spain|Spanish]] [[Surrealism|surrealist]] [[Salvador Dalí]], created in 1929.<ref>[http://archive.thedali.org/mwebcgi/mweb.exe?request=record;id=41;type=101 The First Days of Spring, Salvador Dalí Museum]</ref><br />
<br />
==Description==<br />
The setting for this image is an expansive, smooth gray plane. It is elevated on the right and steps down to a lower level at the left. Clustered in the middle of this space is a variety of strange and colorful surrealist images. In the distance is the small shadowy figures of a man holding the hand of a small boy. Toward the left is a figure seated in a stool with his back turned to the entire scene.<br />
<br />
This work was created during a time of extreme personal stress for Dalí. His father was becoming increasingly disappointed with his son's choice of profession and unorthodox behavior. The figures of the man and boy appear several times in Dalí's future works. They represent Dalí's wish to heal his relationship with his father. The seated figure on the left has also been speculated to represent the artist's father.<br />
