Self-portrait with Fried Bacon Surrealism Statue by Salvador Dali

The Self Portrait with Fried Bacon statue by Salvador Dali is a statue adaptation from his famous painting of the same name. It is part of the Parastone Mouseion 3D Collection. Dali himself -- Modern Art Surrealist Master Painter -- styles his self-portrait as "an anti-psychological self-portrait, instead of painting the soul, or the inner of one-self, to paint solely the appearance, the cover, my soul's glove. This glove of my soul can be eaten and is even a little sharp, like high-bred game; therefor ants appear together with the fried bacon. As the most generous of all painters I continuously offer myself as food and thus give our era the most delicious delicacies." Dali painted this self-portrait during his eight-year-exile in the United States, where he had fled from the Spanish civil war. The, sometimes, childlike enthusiasm and the drive of the American society appealed to Dali and he had a most productive period there. Under this influence he appeared to reverse his "paranoid-critical" method. Now he painted more from the inside out, as his comment on his self-portrait indicates.

Item Type: statue

Material: Resin with hand-painted color details

The reproductions we offer are original artworks created by skilled sculptors carved from clay, stone or wood. A silicon mold is then made from the original sculpture. For many statues, that mold is then used to cast a stone and resin reproduction that hardens into a form with all the texture and detail of the original. All finishing is done by hand. Many of these items include fine color detail, a labor intensive process where color is applied with very small brushes by a group of skilled artisans.
