*Paranoiac Face' shows a stone hut forms the face, the trees transform into bushy hair and seated people become the eyes, nose and mouth. The painting was based on a photograph of African villagers. At first sight, Dali believed that the photo was a face of Picasso, as he had recently studied them. He showed the card to Breton, who thought it was a picture of the Marquis de Sade, who interested him. Therefore Dali rationalized that the individual's mind gives an image the desired characteristics; viewers see what they want to see. *Salvador Dali (1904-1989) - A Spanish artist renowned for 'surrealism', cubism, futurism, technical skill, precise draftsmanship, striking & bizarre images in his work.
