Part 1

Salvador Dali (Even in photos he prefers to appear outside reality .That is surrealistic! ) . The new style of classicism symbolized by the Greek head affixed to the wall (shown separately).

Every time I wish to attain purity, I look at the sky through the flesh."

Salvador Dali's versions of three of the seven Wonders of the World in Antiquity (all in 1954); a) The ) with multiple hidden images. It primarily focuses on the torreador (bull-fighter), whose face is hidden within the repeated representation of the Venus de Milo. The upper portion of the painting contains the bull-fighter's arena, again surrounded by multiple images of the goddess.

(Information from ) one of Dali's last pieces of Art. (The last produced 1983). Why did Salvador Dali produce this work. He knew that he will die and the image uses a hidden symbol. I have the following information (although no independent confirmation): The triangle with apex upward is derived from the Cretan glyph for the pyramid, the tomb. Since those times its' meaning has been "Death"
