Salvador Dalí
Jamie Davis
| Salvador Dalí was born in
1904 and died in 1989. He painted "The Enigma of Hitler" in 1937. The
colors or the painting make it look dressing because they are dark and
dull, with colors like brown, grey,and black.A phone hangs from a tree
branch, with one end broekn and water or a tear falling from the other
end. An umbrella is also hanging from the tree, and is transparent.
Below the phone is a yellow plate with a picture of Hitler, and 5
beans. There are two bats flying away and in the background there is a
woamn behind the umbrella. holding a tissue from her hand. The
almost empty plate shows that during this time period and the
depression, there was little food. The broken phone might show that
there was no way to communicate with family. The tear and the woman in
the back show the sadness of the effects from Hitler. I think
Dalí painted this to show how Hitler had changed the world in a
sad way. The painting is good, but i personally dont' like it. I think
it helps people understand the things that Hitler had done, and the
events that took place in the 1930's. |
