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.
Among the Picasso paintings before 1900AD are The First Communion, which was a large composition depicting his sister Lola and Portrait of Aunt Pepa, a portrait painting hailed as one of the greatest in the history of Spanish painting. Both works exemplified the academic realism apparent in the works of Picasso in the mid 1890s.
In 1929, he held his one-man show in Paris where he joined surrealists led by former Dadaist Andre Breton. It was also in this year when he met Gala Eluard when the latter visited him at Cadaques with her husband and poet Paul Eluard. Gala became Dali's lover, manager and overall inspiration.
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.
