Salvador Dali
In Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish I see a beach, a dog, a hillside, a pears inside of a chalice that looks like a face. It also looks like the beach is in the sky and there is a war going on, on the right side of the painting. The serialist painting is made out a oil paint. It has a lot of recognisable objects and some objects you can’t tell what it is. The painting is horizontal, a little passed being a square. A lot of the different objects are the same thing. The colors of the painting are different shades and tints of white, brown and a little blue. Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish was made in 1938.
Salvador Dali used oil paint to paint Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish.
The way Dali painted it, made it seem like the beach was on the edge of the earth. The blur of Dali’s brush made a wave look. The painting is very balanced, not too much but also not too little. Dali used shadow and light very well.
Salvador Dali painted this picture to because he wanted to show how that sometimes something is right in front of us, but we just can’t see it. Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish means that pain and hurt is can be right in front of us and we can’t see it because it is hidden in something innocent. In the base of the chalice a women looks as if she could be grieving, and there is also a battle going on by the hillside.
Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish is a good piece of artwork. It shows a very real thing that happens every single day. When judging this piece of artwork, you have to think about what it means and what it means to you. This painting was done really well and it can help people to open their eyes wider and see what is around them.
