"Love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes"

May 10, 2011 - PRLog -- If you love surrealism and would like to have such kind of oil painting reproductions hanging in your home or office. I would recommend Dali paintings.

Salvador Dali was born on May 11, 1904 in the town of Figueres in Catalonia, Spain. The town of Figueres maintains the Dalí Theatre and Museum where the Spain flag waves proudly. This museum was designed by Dalí himself. The town is a tourist destination, and the museum serves as the highlight each tourist’s visit.

Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. Dalí’s expansive artistic repertoire includes film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media.

Dalí attributed his "love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes" to a self-styled "Arab lineage," claiming that his ancestors were descended from the Moors.

Dalí was highly imaginative, and also had an affinity for partaking in unusual and grandiose behavior, in order to draw attention to himself. This sometimes irked those who loved his art as much as it annoyed his critics, since his eccentric manner sometimes drew more public attention than his artwork.

The following are some popular art reproductions of Dalis’s artworks:

The Persistence of Memory

Soft Construction with Boiled Beans

Leda Atomica

The Spectre of Sex Appeal

The Birth of Liquid Desires

The Invisible Man

Fried Eggs on the Plate without the Plate

Salvador Dali famous quotes:

At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon. And my ambition has been growing steadily ever since.

Don’t bother about being modern. Unfortunately it is the one thing that, whatever you do, you cannot avoid.

Drawing is the honesty of the art. There is no possibility of cheating. It is either good or bad.

Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure – that of being Salvador Dali.

I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.

I have Dalinian thought: the one thing the world will never have enough of is the outrageous.

In order to acquire a growing and lasting respect in society, it is a good thing, if you possess great talent, to give, early in your youth, a very hard kick to the right shin of the society that you love. After that, be a snob.

It is good taste, and good taste alone, that possesses the power to sterilize and is always the first handicap to any creative functioning.

Surrealism is destructive, but it destroys only what it considers to be shackles limiting our vision.
