Portrait of Pablo Picasso (1947)

Painted by:

Salvador Dalí

Inherent to Dalí's ideas about his own undisputed craftmanship,
Salvador Dali kept an ironic eye on his contemporary colleagues.

Dalí combines realistic views of desert landscapes with monumental grandeur.
Stare down on a particular tree deep and intens enough,
and you get the same result as in "The Three Sphinxes Of Bikini".

One step further is depicting your own woman,
partly as monumental roman building partly as a portrait.
The following painting of his wife Gala, "My Naked Wife watching her body ...", is an example.
Also known as "Ma Femme Rue".
