Portrait of Luis Bunuel Large Framed Print
Framed With Mat •
31x36 inches
"Portrait of Luis Bunuel" by Salvador Dali is a famous painting by the artist depicting yet again a portrait of a man. One result of the relationship between the filmmaker and the painter is the scripts for the best-known Surrealist films, Un chien andalou (An Andalusian Dog, 1929) and L’âge d’or (The Golden Age, 1930), as well as an oil portrait Dalí did in 1924 of his friend Buñuel. In the painting, currently in the Museo Reina Sofía collection, Dalí abandons the Cubist proposals of the years immediately before in order to pursue the aesthetics of the return to Classicism prevalent in continental Europe in the mid-1920s. However, the stark structure of the volumes is reminiscent of a typically Cubist way of working, helping to bring out Buñuel’s forceful personality, his head and shoulders powerfully set against the tiny buildings of the landscape behind him. |

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.
