It it no question whether or not Salvador Dali's work was unique. As with most of the artists of this time, his art was an abstraction of his own feeling and expressions. Dali was put into the category of Dadaism where art challenged the mind to think in an outrageous conduct. By looking at the painting in this entry, one could easily figure out why. It is barely possible for one to look at this picture and at first glance figure out the "meaning" behind this painting, as there appears to be no rhyme or reason to all the parts put into it. This painting becomes one for the scholars, as a knowledge of all the components and probably even one into Dali's psychology, becomes necessary in order to figure out its meaning. Dali expresses, very well, the aspects and components of the paintings of Dadaism.
As I looked through collections of his works, I noticed that almost all of them consist of a desert landscape with a sky background. Dali's paintings appeared very consistent in this way. All display the components necessary to make something a collage in front of a backdrop of a sky of some sort while placed upon a barren desert. To me this expresses Dali's mind- a clear place, yet barren and plain to be filled with new and interesting elements everyday. Though I cannot offer any insight to the possibilities of interpretations that the collage may represent, I can offer that it gives off a grim connotation and leads me further into confusion. If you should find yourself being able to offer any insight into the mind of Dali's paintings, by all means, do share.
