Description of the painting by Salvador Dali “Dark Game”
The great Spanish surrealist painter, Salvador Dali, was born in Figueres. After graduating from the Madrid Academy of Arts, he absorbed the teachings of Z. Freud and the work of the artist D. De Chirico, which influenced his development as a talented artist of the twentieth century.
Its specific name, the picture received from the poet Paul Eluard.

Obsessive fears, ideas, sophisticated desires of the artist himself are embodied on the canvas – and this is the most coveted theme of the picture.
At the end of this exalted construction, the circulation is reconstructed from hats, stone-like forms, heads.
The image of the whole work, on the one hand, repulsive, but also attracting attention, on the other.
The theme of such revelations can be traced to some of his insane fantasy elements in his other paintings, and finds admiration among admirers of his talent.
