Let’s restart our series of Artists in Action.

Salvador Dali most of the time appears to be goofing around or showing his distinctive moustache. How about some pictures of him in action?

‘The Temptation of Saint Anthony’. Funny how nowhere in the picture a naked women is to be found.

Working at ‘Dream of Venus’.

In 1965, working on the Bullfight series.

Salvador Dali in his Studio, by Ernst Scheidegger.

This photo shows how important composition is in photography, in art, in music, in life.

NGA National Indigenous Art Triennial 07, originally uploaded by The Shopping Sherpa.

Strange how the perception of the photo in the middle now is completely different. This is not what the artist intended, but -to me- it adds something.

And the original “The Scream“.

I always love it when artists are flooding the museums to make copies. Amongst many famous historical painters, Edouard Manet used to frequent the Louvre to make copies of the old masters. This is the painting “Tower of Babel” by Pieter Brueghel the Elder which was displayed at the Kunshistorisches Museum in Vienna. I really wonder how many days it takes to get to that stage in the painting.
