Eggs on the Plate without the Plate (Oeufs sur le Plat sans le Plat) - Salvador Dali Painting - Surrealism Art - Posters
199 Rs
The Spanish painter Salvador Dali remains one of the most controversial and paradoxical artists of the twentieth century. Over last few decades, Salvador Dali has gradually come to be seen, alongside the likes of Picasso and Matisse, as a prodigious figure whose life and work occupies a central and unique position in the history of modern art.
Dali has also come to be regarded not only as its most well-known exponent but also, to many people, as an individual artist synonymous with Surrealism itself. In addition, Dali was a great artist who was a great self-publicist and showman. The combination was an irresistible formula for success.

About Eggs on the Plate without the Plate (Oeufs sur le Plat sans le Plat) Salvador Dali Painting Surrealism Art
This painting was initially inspired by what Dalí called an “intra-uterine memory.” Of this experience, Dalí states, “all enchantment for me was in my eyes and the most splendid…vision [while in the womb] was that of a pair of eggs fried in a pan without a pan...” Dalí claims that he could conjure this intrauterine memory whenever he wished by applying pressure with his fingers to his eyes, stimulating his phosphenes to create bright visual images. In this painting Dalí reproduces the colors that remind him of his mother’s womb: “the intra-uterine paradise was the color of hell…red, orange, yellow, and bluish, the color of flames...” The painting’s severe architecture reveals Dalí’s preoccupation with the contrast between geometric architecture and fluid life forms. It may also foreshadow Dalí’s later preoccupation with the architect of Spain’s San Lorenzo de El Escorial Juan de Herrera (1530-1597) and with Ramon Llull (1232-1315), a Catalan mystic obsessed with numerology and inventing a unified system of knowledge. Juan de Herrera was also the author of Discourse on Cubic Form. Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marquess of Dalí de Púbol was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, precise draftsmanship and the striking and bizarre images in his work About the Posters
