Salvador Dali’ Essay

Many different ideas and explanations were made but the most controversial idea was that the melting clocks were somehow connected with Einstein's theory of relativity but in my own personal opinion I interpret this artwork as a way of Salvador to try to capture the time and existence in one place and one occasion because of a pressing need of his own nature that motivates him to do so as artist.(3)

First, he was affected by the landscape of Catalonia in which he spent his childhood. In most of his paintings we could find the desert of Catalonia, which he sees it as his whole life. Another element could be Gala, who is the person that he adored. Dali drew either a portrait for her or he drew her watching the scene of the picture. The last element was sexuality, which he gained from the Surrealism. He either drew nude women either for enjoying it or, in sometimes, he drew nude persons as a symbol of poverty and slavery. In his picture “ Slave Market with Disappearing Bust of Voltaire” (1940) Dali gathered between all the three elements landscape of Catalonia, Gala, and sexuality which shows how he was strongly affected by them (Biography 1929-1941).

In Voluptas Mors is a black and white photograph by Salvador Dali, made in collaboration with photographer Philippe Halsman. The photograph is an optical illusion, where the viewer initially sees a skull but upon closer inspection we see that the skull is made up of seven female nudes. Dali is experimenting with the psychological aspects of death and desire. The image of the skull symbolizes mortality and the female nudes symbolize man’s pursuit of sensual pleasure.

Pablo Picasso He was a Spanish painter, sculptor, printmaker, ceramicist, stage designer, poet and playwright who spent most of his adult life in France .During his lifetime he created over 20,000 works.

The temporal setting “oppress the character with the shape of a pendulum” (3) He fears its deadly velocity which represents his final hours of life. He feels terror of the doom that will “cut” his time on earth. As everyone knows, this symbolizes that death is inevitable.

The statue is an extremely lifelike rendering of a human, with carefully carved clothing, a face full of expression, and even glasses. Somehow, “Father Time” is still, by the denotative understanding, not alive. Also, since he is a statue, by nature, “Father Time” should be immobile, but as is noticeable, he does move. These paradoxes are paralleled in the poem, “Time Is”, because it is obvious that a single person can experience more than one of the given emotions at once. For example, a soldier’s spouse, could, simultaneously experience fear, for their husband or wife’s life, and love, toward the same person. In the poem, it is written that time is “Too Swift for those who Fear”, but also “for those who Love, Time is not” (Lines 2, 5, and 6). Now if someone was fearing and loving, according to the poem, they would not experience time. Yet they still are experiencing time, because for them, time is “Too Swift”. In this way, both “Time Is”, and “Father Time” present impossibilities to their

Parents: His father is Salvador Daly y Cusi. Which was a middle-class lawyer. His mother's name is Felipa Domenech Ferres. She influenced art to Salvador at a young age. Salvador's father had a strict disciplinary approach to raising he's kids. His childhood would be full of anger towards his parents and classmates. Which resulted in Salvador being punished frequently. He was an intelligent child and his drawings would be advanced. Dali had another older brother, but later died in life due to a disease. And his mom would die when Dali was just 16 years old, also had a younger sister. After he's parents

Salvador Dali is one of the most famous surrealist artists. His artwork is fascinating to look at and analyze. All of his work is very imaginative, rendered at a high level of realism, and is filled with extensive symbolism. First I will talk about the history of Surrealism, then how Dali studied and admired Sigmund Freud's theories which greatly influenced his art, he used Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory of dream interpretation to invent a technique for his work, and then using this technique he painted his bizarre dreams.

There are many different styles of lines used in the piece including thin, thick, and contour lines. Lines created by an edge, and vertical lines. The contour lines can be seen throughout the piece. They help to define not only the clothing the male is wearing but also the background. Both thick and thin lines can be seen throughout the piece. The thick lines help to define the clothing while the thin lines add detail to the piece such as in the sailboats in the background. The curtain towards the top of the piece is defined by an edge created by a medium line. There is also a distinct edge which was created by line in the background. The line clearly separates the open sea from the landform.

Lines are one of the building blocks Tomaselli uses to create perspective in his art pieces. Tomaselli’s paintings demonstrate lines such as horizontal, vertical, and diagonal. In my perspective, each type of line portrays an emotion. Horizontal lines convey the feeling of tranquility; vertical lines convey inspiration; and diagonals convey energy. Tomaselli usages of these lines captivate the viewer’s eye because his artworks possess abundant amounts of emotion.

When and Why? As we already known, this painting was created in 1943. During that period, the human being was suffered by the most horrible disaster, the Second World War. About 75 million people died in the war, including about 20 million soldiers and 40 million civilians. Many of the civilians died because of deliberate genocide, massacres, disease, and starvation. At that time, Dali and his wife Gala were forced to leave homeland to America. As an artist, he did not have that power to stop this horrible massacre. Therefore, to relieve his feeling, he produced this famous painting, the

Friendly but satirical, his paintings of scenes takes place in small format, that except casual forays into other genres, are genre pictures. Their bright colors and drawings achieved in the similar to painting watercolors qualities and realistically capture the light of the country. For domestic slave, choose cozy interiors and cooled by the shade of the colonial house. For free slaves, the streets of the city offer freedom of movement and expression

From afar, it appears as if he simply cut the canvas down the middle and

shows the concept of time as anything but persistent. The painting is presented in what can be assumed to be the landscape of a dream. In the middle of the landscape is a figure that resembles a person who is sleeping, further showing that the painting’s setting is within a dream. As he falls asleep, time has, (quite literally) melted away, as shown by the clock within the paintings that have melted away. On the left hand corner, we’re shown what seems to have been another clock that has turned into a pile of ants, which shows Dalí’s definitive surrealist style. These clocks show that time isn’t of any significance. Within this land, time slips away, and life moves forward. Dalí depicts time here as limitless. While we allow ourselves to be ruled by time, he shows that once we let that guard down (as we do when we are asleep), time becomes nothing but an illusion.

His soul had arisen from the grave of boyhood, spurning her grave-clothes. Yes! Yes! Yes! He would create proudly out of the freedom and power of his soul, as the great artificer whose name he bore, a living thing, new and soaring and beautiful, impalpable, imperishable
