Oh Crap! The Face & Results of NUCLEAR WAR

EL ROSTRO DE LA GUERRA - The Visage of War

- by Ladybbird




Ukrainian Artist Dariya Marchenko







The Face of War (The Visage of War; in Spanish La Cara de la Guerra) (1940) is a painting by the Spanish surrealist Salvador Dalí. The trauma and the view of war had often served as inspiration for Dalí's work.

He sometimes believed his artistic vision to be premonitions of war

This work was painted between the end of the Spanish Civil War and the beginning of the Second World War.

The painting depicts a disembodied face hovering against a barren desert landscape.

The face is withered like that of a corpse and wears an expression of misery. In its mouth and eye sockets, there are identical faces. In their mouths and eyes, there are more identical faces in a process implied to be infinite.

Swarming around the large face are biting serpents. In the lower right corner is a handprint that Dalí insisted was left by his own hand.
