Q.
I
visited your website about Salvador Dali and was curious
if you had his painting Hallucinagenic
Bullfighter.
I also was curious if you would be able to tell me the
name of one of his other works. I have seen a really
awesome picture of his where there are 5 or 6 females
put together to make a skull head. If you could name
that pic for me I would be grateful. Thanks.

Regarding
that other picture, there's the original 'Female
bodies as a skull' gouache by Dali (1947 I think).
The photo version is 'Human skull consisting of seven
naked women's bodies' by Philippe Halsman, 1951.
Q.
Please tell me what age was
Dali when he painted his fist painting.

From
what I could find out, Dali was aged six (in 1910) when
he painted his 'first' painting, and it was a landscape.
Apparently, at this stage in his life, Salvador wanted
to be a cook...
Q.
Hi,
I am very interested in Dali's wonderful painting, Apparition
of face and fruit bowl on a beach. If you have any knowledge
of the symbols within this piece, it would help me a
great deal. Thank you very much.

For
those who don't know the picture, you can see it here.
I couldn't find much regarding this particualr picture,
but 'The Endless Enigma' which is extremely similar,
(both were also painted in 1938), was inspired and contained
items from the following sketches: Beach At Cape
Creus with Seated Woman Seen from the Back Mending a
Sail, and Boat. Philosopher Reclining. Face
of the Great Cycopean Cretin. Greyhound.
Mandolin, Fruit Dish with Pears, Two Figs on a Table.
Mythological Beast (all 1938). Phew! Hope that
was of some help...
