Salvador Dali's Hallucinogenic Torreador

Let us see how the Hallucinogenic Toreador came about. Dali had doubtless talent, which was drawn apoun systematic confusion. For many, trying to make sense of this painting was distinctly unhelpful. Dali made the dates and titles of his work as he had the tales he told about his life. Studies of this painting never came complete. The tones of light in the painting are perfectly placed on each object to show form and three dimensions of light, and contour. Females are lined up facing different directions. Three of the statue like females show only light which makes the chest and belly look like the bottom of a males face. Everything on the painting is made to show Salvador's family and some depict the face of his wife or the face of his mother. Dots and flies are placed like endless valleys of nothing. A bulls head is placed on a small lake that shows his wife sun bathing. Then in a blur of paint the bull is seen walking away from the lake. Smaller images of the standing females are seen down by the shores of the lake.

The bottom corner of this painting shows a young boy facing endless valleys of light and hidden figures. I believe the young boy is Salvador with his bullwhip. Some of the dots turn to flies coming towards you and showing a shadow under each fly. On the bottom of the female gown shows a rose, which depicts the love he had for his mother. I see his wife's face glowing by the gates of the toreador. Looking at this painting is like looking at a picture with one object that shows another by using his puzzling like talent. He uses a mixture of abstract and realistic figures to show one big toreador of his feelings and imagination. You can tell by the painting Dali is from Spain. The amount of feelings that Dali put into this is amazing and overwhelming. For some reason the female statues are placed on top of the gates of the toreador. I like how the bulls eye is also a fly and its head was not formed with lines but with a blur paint which creates lights and form. I'm not sure who these statues resemble but they are all over the painting . Some how Dali completed this piece within two years. Two of the female statues are facing a sunset and four are facing the moon, which comes after. He used colors to represent opposites and light. Dali drew on his own knowledge of the archives to locate the documentary material. This piece of artwork can be found in Saint Petersburg, Florida. I see half a statue on a cubist like table that becomes abstract figures and an endless valley of dots. This painting has made a major effect on my life and has made my artwork go to a more relaxed level. Instead of just painting a landscape Dali painted a toreador of symbols and some was what he saw on an acid trip. That was not why I picked this painting .

I don't think one artist on this planet could ever copy or imatate his work because its so complicated. Some would say his work was imature but I think the talent level was beyond regular. Most of the faces on this painting are more created images then distinct lines on a paper. If Dali was alive today he would be more then a multi-millonare. The paints go from dark to light to show form. For some reason the gowns of one of the female statues is being held on by a botton. The breasts on the females go from a lighter shade to a darker shade. Which gives the statues a fading qaulity. I think this painting was done with some sort of oil paints. He did showing the ripples of light on the lake. This lake is some what invisible. The head of a statue goes from larger to smaller and smaller. This particular painting doesn't depict religion , which is why I find it caught in space. His mother is painted on the side of a cliff and light shows a man inside the face of his mother. This painting shows qualitys of figure, contour and light. There are many minitures and copys of figures in this painting. The toreador its self looks like coluseum in heaven. Ther are angles at the gates of the toreador. This must be the most creative painting I've ever written

about. At Dali's time he was challenged

by Piccasso and Goya. They both ended up being considered ingenious

.

Every thing he painted this has a shadow. Most of all the colors fade in and out. I've noticed that the eye of the bull is also a fly. The dots and the flys all come from oppisite directions. Most of all these figures seem to be gohst like.

It almost seems that some of the
