Surrealism has such ambiguity, I could look at it for hours, wondering what the artist was thinking when creating an art peice.
Dali is by far the most recognised, his imagination must have run wild when at his best... the most famous of his paintings is The Persistance of Memory.
The melting clocks and strange shapes, are great representation of memory...
Among other things he was also commissioned by Edward James to create a 'Lobster Telephone' and the 'Mae West Lips Sofa'
One word.. WOW lol Dali created the sofa because of his slight obsession with Mae West at the time, and the telephone created after Dali was confused as to when he ordered a lobster at a restaurant, he wasn't given a phone!
The next painting, I saw and immediently loved... It now takes pride place above my bed!
The main colour is so calming, with just the brightly coloured flowers in the centre of the painting, draws your attention straight away. The fact that the painting is untitled leaves your own mind free to give meaning to it, if it even has a meaning. The figures in the background i think is reflection of people in the background of your own life.. and how important they are, even at first glance they seem irrelavent...
