The composition is horizontal. Due to the size of the picture and its composition Dali could convey a sense of space. Thus in the foreground in the middle of the painting we see the monster or abstract self portrait, and in the left-hand corner is a rectangular table. Against a background of both subjects melting clocks are placed, that shows the human experience of time and memory. On the background of the landscape are the sea and the rocks, which dlend with a bright-colored sky. Overall the work's colouring are warm colors, where brown (with its hues)predominates. That defines the nearer figures more sharply. But the the composition contains cold and respectful colors. So we can see the combination of arbitrary and hush colours; contrast of light and shade. You can divide the picture space diagonally and see that the rock to the left is in the shadow, and the one to the right is lit by the sun. Thus the difference between soft and hard objects is evident. So this composition of the surreal landscape is complex, which sometimes can confuse the eye.
Salvador, Salvador, Salvadorushka :D
ReplyDeleteI can't characterize this man. I really don't understand what he has meant.
This picture is a symbol of the film for me.
The movie is called 1+1. The afro-France man is not well-educated, but he works on a very respectable person who is disabling.
There is a moment in the film when the reproduction of this picture by Dali is hanged in the office of a company where our afro-Frenche friend is coming to be in a staff, but even clerks and heads of the company don't know what the title of the canvas is.
The idea is: it doesn't matter who are you - a poor man or a rich one, with a job or without anything - the most important what you know.
