The Horses of Salvador Dali
While largely celebrated for his surreal artwork, when Salvador Dali studied art in Barcelona and Madrid he dabbled in a number of artistic styles.
Interestingly enough, his surreal work was partly inspired by the writings of Sigmund Freud about the significance of subconscious imagery.
Dali’s Horses
Being Spanish, his obvious love of horses makes perfect sense. Horses often make an appearance in his art. So many in fact that I couldn’t fit them all in this post.
I selected a variety of styles to show here, some of which may surprise you.
The Temptation of Saint Anthony
Horse in The Sky
Don Quixote
Paranoiac Woman-Horse
Trojan Horse
Alexander
Horse of Spring
Woman Horse
Unicorn

A bit fantasy art, sex overtones and the use of horses in a bazzar way. I find it fasinating and food for thought.
