Spain is a country which has produced a host of masters,expecially in the 20^th century when great artists Picasso,Miro and Dali came into being whose work had an indelible impact at that time and still influence us nowadays.Salvdor Dali is an outstanding master of arts in the 20th century.His art style provides a new direction as well as possibilities to the arts development at that time and even today.His wild imagination and the modem subconscious spirit theory complementarily generated his fantastic art style which added a lot of brilliant to the paintings of the 20th century.If we say that an artist's work style is his art style,then Dali is the most typical representative in art history.Dali's art embodies both historical and practical significance.His emergence influenced the trend of arts in the 20th century,and provides a valuable reference to the development of Chinese contemporary art as well.In his works there are full of terrible,violent,pornographic,bloody,crazy,abnormal,and paranoia nightmare images.This exactly reflects Dali's temperament:odd,ego-centered, conceited,unreasonable,boastful,arrogant,paranoid and a tyrant of personality.As Freud said,"Daly is a fanatical person;he is a extremist.No matter what his love for kara,his political stand, his artistic views,and his interpretation of history,at least out in the declaration,they are exaggerated,and by virtue of which we can understand Dali."However,when we have the honor of reading his entire artistic course as well as his aboudant high-quality works,we will find that he is a super genius and great artist who embodies endless talent,imagination and creativity.Dali led a diligent life,creating nearly 1200 paintings,thousands of drawings and sculptures.Looking at Dali's artistic life,the light of genius had shone more than half a century. His honor,wealth,and artistic achievements had reached a peak at that time.Although some people had some feeble criticise about Dali's personality and behavior,Dali can be no doubtedly called the most diligent artist in the 20th century.Deeply in his mind filled a noble faith:rescue the Western modem arts which was heading for recession,using the most difficult realistic approach to engage in artistic creation,the enormous amount of various works and such wonderful skills make everyone marvel.Dali is more a unsupassed diligent master of arts than a genius.This article is divided into three parts:PartⅠ:The artistic life of Dali.Expound the developing process of Dali's idea on art from infancy to maturity.PartⅡ:By the study of Freud's psychoanalytic theory,expound its impact on surrealism movement and Dali.PartⅢ:By analyzing the evolutionary process of Dali's works,as well as works of art,fully expound Dali's thought on art and his artistic characteristics.This passage mainly focuses on the second chapter of Freud's psychoanalytic theory and the third chapter of the analysis of Dali's art personality.The author deeply reveals Dali's art value orientation on theoretical basis, and demonstrates Dali's profound impact of his art concept on the contemporary art areas of Chinese and the whole world.In this paper,the author is willing to use a non-utilitarian attitude to analysize Dali's art in a more comprehensive way,aimed at creating a integrated impression of Dali on people's minds so as to clearify his important position in art history.
