Form & Space_Dali sculpture




For my second week of journal work finds, my first object is the three dimensional representation of one of Salvador Dali famous and recognizable paintings. Having in mind the details from that art work, we can imagine how they can be interpreted in a three dimensional way so those details can be seen at different angles. It is known that this particular painting is obviously a two dimensional flat image; that is the way we all recognize that Dali’s painting. Now, let us imagine how that painting would look like in a three dimensional space. Not meaning the whole thing, just the center part (the man being born from the Earth in the shape of an egg). As a dimensional sculpture, is very interesting to appreciate its details in volume and in its three dimensions as well as the entire piece. The reason why I chose this particular 3D sculpture is simply because I already recognized the masterpiece as a painting in its original way, but now I had the opportunity of seeing it as a sculpture.
