Vocabulary Lesson 9
Salvador Dali (1904-1989)Surrealist artist
PowerPoint by Mrs. HintonFor English 10Montevallo High School
PERCEPTIONWhat is your
perception of the work of surrealist artist
Salvador Dali? Do you understand, for
instance, his depictions of the human body?
MUTABLE For artistic purposes, Dali certainly found
the human body mutable: He freely
changed its basic form in a number of
paintings.
INDESTRUCTIBLE Dali’s view in the painting
Soft Construction with Boiled Beans:
Premonition of Civil War seems to be not only that
humanity is not indestructible, but that it is
capable of its own destruction.
INNATEThe painting clearly
illustrates Dali’s ability to defy reality on canvas. Such an ability can’t, I think, be learned: It must be
inborn, or innate.
COMPLIANCEIn that disturbing painting, Dali shows
compliance, or agreement, with the surrealist belief that feelings and ideas must be expressed.
AXIOMDon’t you think
Dali’s painting prove the old
axiom “Beauty is in the eye of the
beholder”?
INANIMATEOf course, Dali's
paintings are inanimate objects, yet they are hardly
lifeless or spiritless.
PREVALENTAlthough surrealism was
a popular movement in its day, the surrealist style never became prevalent in the art world. It was
confined to a small group of artists.
COMPATIBLEFrankly, I have
never been compatible with
anyone who likes surrealist art, but
maybe we can learn to get along.
RECOURSEPerhaps you are
my last recourse for help in learning to appreciate
surrealist art.
