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.
This realism was enamoured with a Symbolist influence by 1897 as shown in Picasso paintings of a series of landscapes in non-naturalistic violet and green tones. Among his well renowned works are The Hallucinogenic Toreador and The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, which were already in the museum's collection and The Sacrament of the Last Supper which was in the National Gallery collection in Washington, D.C.
The Modernist period of the Picasso paintings was in 1899-1900 while his Blue period was in 1901-1904. The Picasso paintings during this Blue period were characterized by sombre depictions rendered in shades of blue and blue green, with an occasional resonance by other colours.
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.
Blindness was a recurring theme in Picasso paintings during the period. The Blind man's Meal, a 1903 painting and Celestina, a 1903 portrait, had blindness for its central theme. In addition, there were also the Portrait of Soler and Portrait of Suzanne Bloch, all done around the same theme.
