Salvador Dali was born on May 11, 1904 in Figures, Spain. Dali’s career began at a very early age. After almost an entire childhood of art Dali decided to go and study at an Academy in Madrid. Several years later during the 1920s, Dali spent a good amount of time in Paris. While living there he did more paining, incorporating techniques and artistic elements of well known artists, such as Magritte, Miró, and even Picasso. Miró was one of the key influences who sparked Dali’s interest into the world of surrealism.
My open ended question was, “In what way is realism portrayed within the surrealistic tendencies of Dali’s work?”
Luke agreed that certain aspects of realism can be seen through Dali’s work, mentioning that much of it is shown through his human/animalistic figures and organic landscapes/shapes. Like others, Luke agreed that my piece was somewhat abstract, surreal, and weird and creepy. He told me that he liked the amount of detail I had included, and that it did in fact remind him a lot of Salvador Dali.
