This piece was created by the great Spanish artist Salvador Dali. Dali was a major icon for many Surrealism artists. Salvador Dali made the images of the mind come to life; he created made painting as if they were something that came from a dream or even a nightmare. He was influenced by Freud, Cubism, Futurism, and metaphysical art.
This particular piece is called Cinquenta, Tigre Real. This piece has a mixture of so many styles and techniques. In this painting you can find these particular techniques: Cubism, Abstract, and Surrealism. When you first look at this picture, you can easily see the image of the tiger. The orange and red colors contrasted with the black in the background make you feel the emotion in this painting. At first glance you can feel the power and passion that this tiger holds. Perhaps, Dali is portraying that this tiger is the leader of the pack and holds all the strength and stability of his group.
When you look closer into the painting and look at the triangles you can see faces that Dali has painted. There are three faces that our blurred and yet distinct to the viewer at the same time. After seeing this part of the painting, it tells a different story, a different emotion. I see a man that may have so much aggression and possibly hatred or anger that he is holding in. This man has been holding it in for so long when he finally lets it out; his anger is so fierce and intense that it scares those who can see this aggression. Dali uses the squares as his main geometrical figure because the squares are bigger and draw the viewer’s attention right away.
I really like this particular painting because I really like the colors and the way that Dali uses a variety of styles in his piece. I like how he makes it look like cubism but at the same time it is abstract.
