Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali was an eccentic and self-promotional artist

The meaning is really quite simple, it is the ascension of Christ to Heaven after his resurrection as seen through the eyes of a Surrealist.

His mother, Felipa Domenech Ferrés, was born in Spain.

Successful, yes, in the sense that it is the most widely known of all Dali's paintings.

Oil paint.

Dail lived in Figueras as a child, and began painting in an Impressionist style influenced by his family's friends the Pixtots. Impressionism is about en-plein-air painting, sitting outside and painting what you see.

Salvador Dali is a fantastic narrative artist. You just need to be able to look deep and broaden your thoughts to understand the meaning behind his art. Or (if this a high school art project) just make up a bunch of crap using long word that will make your teacher fall head over heels for it. :)

They were both Catalan surrealists

Salvador Dalí, Joan Miró, Yves Tanguy, Kay Sage, Leonor Fini. Surrealism, which started as a literary style, was formally launched in 1924 when Andre Breton published his Surrealist Manifesto. Examples of artists incorporating this style are Man Ray, Andre Masson and Max Ernst.

He was very much inspired by the psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud, and the societal injustices in Spain during the first half of the 20th century. So if by methods you mean inspirations or thought process, I good guess might be the study of psychoanalysis.

Yes, he did. Surrealistic influences are evident in many works during the next generations of artists.

I believe that this question could be answered either Yes or No, regarding to which context you analyse the history and "still available proof".

Salvador was, without doubt, a brilliant artist beyond compare, and a quite common fact in the world of psychology is that brilliance in a certain aspect of your life will always go hand in hand with a "handicapped deviation" in another part of your life.

This is easily recognized in the life of an artist since all of them could be "categorized" as expressionist, thus emotions deeds are easily readable by society. As is the fact that artists are quite beloved and frequently live rather exposed lives, although deep within most artists suffer of a lack of privacy.

Along with Salvador's brilliance in abundance came a high level of eccentricity and an almost schizophrenic attitude, which is well needed to attach your soul to your work, periodically.

Eccentricity, and schizophrenia allows homosexuality in all aspects of inner human needs and behaviour, even against what is socially acceptable.

Both of the artist's lifestyle and work has got several hints, and not only hints, but also declarations about homosexuality. Except for the fact that Salvador's work was mostly about condemned love, a hungered lust and loss of life and love, Salvador often spoke about Federico more than he would about his own wife.

Although Salvador was always a very eccentric man, after the death of Federico, Salvador played on the last step of insanity... Which was also his prerogative and the reason for his popularity.

Is it then obvious or coincidence that whether Salvador loved Federico or not, Salvador certainly had a deep emotional bond with Federico.

I believe that the deepest love and sincerity often blooms without having to say a word... The depth of Salvador and Federico's relationship seldom needed words or deeds to prove anything to society surrounding them.

Any poet that is worth his salt will know that there is no question about Federico's deep and intense love for Salvador.

Opinionated answer due to several psychological analyses and archived evidence: I believe Salvador loved Federico more than a poet could describe and more than society could judge him for...

Any opinions stated to prove the contrary could be purely based on his almost-insanity...

He was fascinated by the themes of Christianity; more so later in life, but he once said that he 'knew there was a God because of the mathematic beauty of the universe, but he didn't believe it...'

Sexuall problems D;

It was one of his trademarks, and went well with his excentric personality.

No, it is the other way around: He was born in Spain and worked for a long time in France.

Salvador Dalí's "The Temptation of St. Anthony" explores themes of desire, temptation, and the conflict between spirituality and earthly pleasures. The painting depicts St. Anthony being tormented by surreal, fantastical creatures that symbolize his inner struggles and the distractions of the material world. Dalí's use of dreamlike imagery and distorted forms reflects the psychological turmoil of the saint as he resists these temptations. Ultimately, the work invites viewers to contemplate the nature of faith and the challenges of maintaining spiritual integrity in a world filled with distractions.
