Salvador Dali was a Spanish Catalan surrealist painter. He was born on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. The Salvador Dali Paintings are best known for their striking, but bizarre images.
He attended the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid and has been recognized early on his one-man show at Barcelona in 1925. When three Salvador Dali posters were shown at the third annual Carnegie International Exhibition (Pittsburg, 1928) which included The Basket of Bread which was now in the Museum's Collection, he became internationally known.
In one of the 1943 Salvador Dali paintings, Geopolitics Child Watching the Birth of the New Man, Salvador pictured a large egg-shaped globe of the world out of which a new man is struggling to get out. The globe represents North America. There is blood coming out of the egg crack while England was firmly grasped in the hand of the man. The painting is conveying the message that it is in the hands of America that the fate of England hangs.
In The Face of War, one of a number of Salvador Dali paintings to come out in 1940-41, the obsession of Salvador with death is revealed. This obsession is represented in the face of war or in the seductive shape of female bodies.
La Vie was an example of the Picasso paintings during the Blue period. It is considered as a gloomy allegorical painting in the art world. It represented a culmination of several posthumous portraits of Carlos Casagemas done by the artist starting in 1901.
His major retrospective exhibit took place at The Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1941 which was followed with the publication of The Secret Life of Salvador Dali, his autobiography in 1942. Salvador Dali posters range from scientific to historical to religious themes as he moved away from Surrealism into his classic period.
Another well known Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso, is considered one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century. He is known as a co-founder of the Cubist movement, the inventor of constructing sculpture and a co-inventor of collage.
