Salvador Dalí - Homehaje a los surrealismo

Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s and encompassed all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension.

Compared to Dalí's canvas works, this work stands out primarily for its distinctive minimalism. Instead of exaggerated hyper-realistic plasticity, here we find a composition resolved with the elegant design of a few essential lines. Despite the composition's synthetic nature, the character of Dalí's work is fully respected. For example, the setting, a desolate land stretching as far as the eye can see, or the presence of several iconic figures. In particular, the bizarre creatures also found in a work known as The Temptation of Saint Anthony, return.

Salvador Dalí (Figueres 1904-1989). A major representative of historical Surrealism, he was a photographer, writer, and filmmaker (his collaboration with Luis Buñuel is famous) as well as a painter. His works are based on the principles of psychoanalytic associationism, following the teachings of André Breton. His style is characterized by a turgid, harsh hyperrealism, in which his subjects display an obsessive attention to detail. His compositions are a mix of free associations, biomorphic organisms, and cultural references.
