Portrait Pablo Picasso
Portrait of Picasso (1947). Shocked by the dropping of the atom
bomb, Dalí took a different mystical turning after the Second
World War. He combined this new approach with a fanatical
interest in the classical art of painting. One year after painting
the Portrait of Picasso he described in his "Fifty magical secrets"
how surprised he was that people were able to split a nuclear,
"but nobody had any knowledge of the substances and the
secret juices in which the brothers Van Eyck or Vermeer from
the Dutch town of Delft used to dip their paintbrushes. Although
still filled with Dalí-like symbolism, Picasso's portrait has stylistic
neo-classical elements. Above the weak torso a portrait comes
into existence, composed of alienating elements which strongly
reminds the viewer of the 17th-century-portraits by the painter
Archimboldo. In 1948 Dalí decided, after a very fruitful
eight-year-long stay in the United States, to return to Europe to
devote himself to "nuclear mysticism" with the expert motto his
insight that the "the skilful arts of painting were developed once
and forever and with the greatest perfection and influence
during the Renaissance and that the decadence of modern art
finds its origins in scepticism and a lack of faith, which is a
consequence of mechanical materialism.

Soft self-portrait...
Soft self-portrait with fried bacon (1941) Dalí himself styles his
self-portrait as an 'anti-psychological' self-portrait, instead of
painting the soul, or the inner of one-self, to paint solely the
appearance, the cover, my soul's glove. This glove of my soul

can be eaten and is even a little sharp, like high-bred game;
therefor ants appear together with the fried bacon. As the most
generous of all painters I continuously offer myself as food and
thus give our era the most delicious delicacies." Dalí painted this
self-portrait during his eight-year-exile in the United States,
where he had fled from the Spanish civil war. The, sometimes,
childlike enthusiasm and the drive of the American society
appealed to Dalí and he had a most productive period there.
Under this influence he appeared to reverse his
"paranoid-critical" method. Now he painted more from the inside
out, as his comment on his self-portrait indicates.
