Description

ABOUT THE COWLVADOR DALI"

This Cowlvador Dalà­ cow is the reproduction of the life-size sculpture displayed at the Kansas City CowParade exhibit in 2001. It is remarkable to point out that, the Paseo Academy of Visual and Performing Arts student artists designed several cow sculptures. Through their paintings, they transcribed the creativity of the famous Spanish artist Salvador Dalà­. The contrasting colors used, as well as the organic shape of the mammal, make the standing bovine sculpture particularly pertinent. This cow is part of the Museum Edition. It comes with a CowParade Certificate of Authenticity as well as a soft dust bag.

Dali

Dali

The artist who above all others symbolizes Surrealism in the public imagination is the Spaniard, Salvador Dalí. His genius for publicity brought the word “Surrealism” to the level of a common noun in all languages. Not only Dali's art denotes that is irrational and erotic, but also mad–and fashionable. All at once, his paintings, his writings, his utterances, his actions, his appearance, and his iconic mustache celebrate his eccentricity. The Surrealists’ exploration of the human psyche and dreams reached new heights in Dalí’s extravagant works. In his paintings, sculptures, jewelry, and designs for furniture and movies, Dalí probed a deeply erotic dimension. While studying the writings of von Krafft-Ebing and Freud, he invented what he called the “paranoiac-critical method” to assist his creative process. Dalí’s surrealist works are characterized by their haunting allegorical empty space where even time has ended. An eerie, never-setting sun usually illuminates the barren landscapes, with often amorphous and imaginary creatures in the foreground. Dalí rendered every detail of this dreamscape with precise control, striving to make the world of his paintings convincingly real–in his words, to make the irrational concrete.
