An Interesting Take on Reality
Anthropomorphic – Salvador Dalí
Lab Work – Dalí, Let’s cover the Anthropomorphic
Get Some More Salvador Dalí… Salvador, the Spanish Surrealist painter and printmaker, more infamously known for his surreal expressions and fanciful illusions. I must admit that I am a fan of this work.
While I wouldn’t say I’m fanatical, I am intrigued by this works. His work “breaks the boundaries” of reality and delves into a surreal world that is uniquely Salvador’s work. While studying Art History in college, I delved deeper into Salvador’s works as I explored my own surrealist illusions and study of colors. I purchased a few table-top books of his works and some small print books for reference. My influence comes more from the internet than from archival hardbound books.
The surreal, dream-like, and fanciful elements in my own work are a direct reflection of his influence. He truly is a brain-teaser. In addition to Salvador, other artists like Parkes (modern surrealist; fantasy); even Larry Elmore have influenced my work as well. They are all incredibly skilled with an eye for detail and light. If you have the chance, I recommend taking a look at some of Salvador’s work online. Check out pieces like “The Anthropomorphic Cabinet” (Anthropomorphic – Dali) from 1936.
