*Still Life by Moonlight' painting is Cubist in style, but its imagery has a strong poetic, and surreal quality. Picasso was already exhibiting this combination of apparently contradictory elements in his work. However, while the bust lying on the table in Dali's work recalls Picasso's Studio with Plaster Head, images such as the guitar, whose neck uncannily resembles the bodies of the fish lying next to it, are Dali's own inventions. The expressiveness of the scene is enhanced by the occasional use of bright colors, especially in the remarkable bluefish. *Salvador Dali (1904-1989) - A Spanish artist renowned for 'surrealism', cubism, futurism, technical skill, precise draftsmanship, striking & bizarre images in his work. Major themes in his work include dream sequences, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. He used this method to realize the dreams and imagination he had in his mind, changing the real world the way he wanted and not necessarily what it was. Dal�'s artistic repertoire included painting, graphic arts, film, sculpture, design, photography, fiction, poetry, autobiography, essays and criticism.
