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.
Salvador Dali was a skilled draftsman whose painting skills are attributed to the influence of the Renaissance masters. The Persistence of Memory, which Salvador completed in 1931, is best known among the Salvador Dali paintings.
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.
Salvador's interest in mathematics and physics is depicted in one of the 1954 Salvador Dali paintings, Crucifixion. In this painting, Jesus is crucified on an unfolded hypercube.
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.
