The Apparition of Aphrodite 
The Persistance of Time
Salvador Dali has
been known to be the most eccentric and imaginative surrealist artist in Spanish
painting. His meticulous attention to detail, virtuso technique, and extremely
imaginative content reflected much of the techniques used by the Old Masters of
the Italian Renaissance. However his bizzare and vivid contents of his paintings
caught the public's attention. He once reffered to his paintings as
"hand-painted dream photographs" and thus his paintings could mostly be
explained as such. His paintings intrigue me personally because it shows how
much we forget to pay attention to the power of our subconcious mind. In several
paintings, like that of "The Apparition of the Visage of Aphrodite", his careful
application of pictures within pictures proves to show much thought and
creactivity that many have difficulty mastering.
