The poet’s very words used for Chagall’s work, “supernatural” and “surreal”, were later used to name the Surrealism Movement. Before coming to Paris, Chagall was taught by the set and costume…

For my research assignment, I chose Salvador Dali, a famous artist known for surrealism. I decided to research Salvador Dali due to his strong influence in paradoxical art; this was a form of art that contradicted and complexed itself with concepts. Since, many of Dali's art pieces were paradoxical, I found myself admiring all of his art as well as the personality behind his pieces. With that being said, I thought it was intersting that Dali contradicted all of his work, but still maintained the…

further than that. In this artwork all of the animals or creatures in this artwork are black and this a minor aesthetic quality of Kahlo’s artwork.
