Salvatore Dali is best known for the
striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His best-known
work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. Salvatore
Dalí's expansive artistic collection includes film, sculpture, and
photography. The Basket of Bread, painted in 1926, is a painting that
depicts four pieces of bread with butter on them sitting in a basket.
The painting resides at the Salvador Dali Museum, St. Petersburg, Fl.
Diego Rivera began drawing when he was only
three, just a year after his twin brother's death. He had been caught
drawing on the walls. His parents, installed chalkboards and canvas
on the walls for him to make use. The kid, painted by Diego Rivera is
one of my favorite pieces by him, next to the skeleton is Frida Kahlo, his wife,
and himself in the painting.
Frida Kahlo is best known for her
self-portraits. She once said, "I paint myself because I am so
often alone and because I am the subject I know best." Frida
Kahlo's work is remembered for its "pain and passion", and
its intense, vibrant colors. Her work has been celebrated in Mexico
as emblematic of national and indigenous tradition, and by feminists
for its uncompromising depiction of the female experience and form. I
enjoy her piece “The Suicide of Dorothy Hale” which is an oil
painting from 1939. It is on display at the Phoenix Art Museum in
Phoenix Arizona.
An interesting collection.. All with a Spanish/Mexican flair.
ReplyDeleteThe still life from Dali is interesting, different from the work that comes later.
Kahlo is so different and her relationship with Rivera, make sure you read up on their lives
