Postcard Souvenir from the Salvador Dalí Exhibition
Following up from last time…
At first glance, it looks like a traditional still life painting with strong classical elements. But when you follow the shadows of the objects, you’ll notice that the shadows are in strange positions…
Which means… are they floating!?
Seeing this gave me a feeling like my eyes were flashing—so intriguing!
It’s just fascinating, isn’t it?
If you want to know more details or specifics, you can find plenty of information online, but to summarize:
Dalí, after growing tired of the Surrealism movement, became interested in physics and biology, and he started using scientific methods to explain the mysteries of religion.
This piece was his attempt to incorporate something spiritual into art.
If CG technology had existed back then, this kind of painting would have been easy to create. But still—Dalí was an amazing person, wasn’t he?
This painting is titled “Still Life—Fast Moving”.
Even still life becomes dramatic and romantic when painted by Dalí.
He was both a strong theorist and an imaginative dreamer, and it’s clear that the painters of his time were true pacifists.
Yes, painters—essentially, they are peace-loving people.
Then and now, ^-^
With the recent news about the boy who shot Donald Trump in the ear—his political views are still unknown—it’s become a hot topic. We’ve been bombarded with shocking news in recent years, and the world is in chaos.
Is Windows okay, though!?
People who rely on it for work must be really struggling.
I hope things get back to normal soon…
Peace is the most important thing after all ^-^
