This famous Dali painting is filled with so many incredible details and stories. You will not believe what lies within this painting! The story behind the flies swarming is fascinating. Dali created some of the most iconic art in history. Some are incredibly tiny, while this piece is massive!
Hallucinogenic Toreador displays Dali's wife's hatred for bullfighting, which remains a very popular Spanish tradition. In contrast, Dali had a passionate love of bull fighting. Gala herself appears in the upper left hand of the work looking disapprovingly on the scene.
I thought I knew a lot about this painting, but Dali expert Peter Tush had so many unknown details to share. So fascinating to see what Dali was creating at the end of his long career, still pushing the limits.

Seen this particular piece back in 1978 while on a field trip with my Commercial Art class. At the time the location was in the Morse collection housed in Beachwood, Ohio prior to it's now location in Florida . When I first laid eyes upon it I was awestruck! It moved me so much and it is the number one reason why I am an Artist today. Dali's work is incredible. Such a gift, such imagination and the best collection of his work housed in this museum. A must see!!!

What an awesome story! So great that you got to see it before it made his trip to Florida. Definitely one of my favorite Dali paintings for sure. Thank you so much for the feedback!

I love how he was inspired by a pencil box purchased from a museum. I bought a coffee mug with this painting from the Dali museum in St Petersburg and I love day dreaming of all the symbolism in this piece ❤

Totally agree! One thing I have always loved about Dali's work is how it really fires up your imagination. He was such a unique, yet crazy, artist I will always respect. Thanks for watching and the feedback!

When I saw that in person at the Dali Museum I just stood there in awe. That particular piece is amazing to me.

Feel the same way! Dali is always on either end of the spectrum. You see his work in person and you’re amazed by either how small or how incredibly large it is. This one is just fantastic. Thanks for the feedback!
