Salvador Dali was a Spanish Catalan surrealist painter. He was born on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. The Salvador Dali Paintings are best known for their striking, but bizarre images.
Among the Picasso paintings before 1900AD are The First Communion, which was a large composition depicting his sister Lola and Portrait of Aunt Pepa, a portrait painting hailed as one of the greatest in the history of Spanish painting. Both works exemplified the academic realism apparent in the works of Picasso in the mid 1890s.
In one of the 1943 Salvador Dali paintings, Geopolitics Child Watching the Birth of the New Man, Salvador pictured a large egg-shaped globe of the world out of which a new man is struggling to get out. The globe represents North America. There is blood coming out of the egg crack while England was firmly grasped in the hand of the man. The painting is conveying the message that it is in the hands of America that the fate of England hangs.
The Modernist period of the Picasso paintings was in 1899-1900 while his Blue period was in 1901-1904. The Picasso paintings during this Blue period were characterized by sombre depictions rendered in shades of blue and blue green, with an occasional resonance by other colours.
During World War II, Dali and Gala escaped from Europe to the United States where they spend eight years from 1940 to 1948.
The Frugal Repast was among the Picasso paintings at the end of his Blue period. It depicted an emaciated couple consisting of a blind man and a sighted woman, seated at a bare table.
Blindness was a recurring theme in Picasso paintings during the period. The Blind man's Meal, a 1903 painting and Celestina, a 1903 portrait, had blindness for its central theme. In addition, there were also the Portrait of Soler and Portrait of Suzanne Bloch, all done around the same theme.
