Luke Myers Professor Stoddard ARH 106 27 January 2015 Analysis of an original work of art Santiago El Grande by Salvador Dali Much can be said about about this painting. It is extraordinary, a masterwork, and one of Dali’s most famous. I was lucky enough to see it when it was at the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. Despite holding one of the largest collections of his works worldwide, I spent most of my time at the museum under Santiago. Under him, because everything about this work…

My mother, Maria, was born and raised in San Salvador. San Salvador is the capital city of El Salvador, is the smallest country in Central America, and for her childhood and teenage years, the country was in a civil war.

Fatima and her first daughter, Karla, had first immigrated illegally to Houston, Texas in 1983 with the help of Mexican Coyotes –…

The style of this artwork would be considered surrealism, because of its irrational use of…

Born May 4th 1989, Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali Y Domenech (A.K.A) Salvador Dali was going to introduce the next generation of what is known as Surrealism. During the late 1900’s Salvador Dali was enrolled in a public school where ironically spent his days dreaming rather than studying.

However, as time elapsed his parents then discovered the talent that Dali…

first name that came to the minds of most art critics and students of art history was that of Salvador Dali, not Andre Breton. This was an ironical state of affairs because Andre Breton and the Surrealists had formally expelled Salvador Dali from their art movement in 1939. They could expel Dali but they could not restrain him from producing paintings and sculpture in the Surrealist style. IV In 1931, Salvador Dali lived in Port Lligat, Spain and he was about to become famous. Two years later,…
