These three artists hold many personal characteristics in common. They are all men with intense obsessions with issues and objects of the world. They dwell constantly in the darker human emotions and convey successfully all sorts of heightened emotions varying from gloom, lunacy and overindulgence. .
There is difference in style, as they all emerged as artists in different periods of time. Dali's paintings are of an unrealistic manner showing disfigured representations of himself while both Goya and Whiteley display a realistic approach to painting their visual appearances. While Dali is purely symbolic both Whiteley and Goya work with mood and expression using colour and facial expression and demeanour to communicated the under lying themes within their paintings.
Both Brett Whiteley and Salvador Dali shared a common flaw within their personalities. While the "insatiable craving for sex', money and fame drove Dali to artistic genius, for Whiteley, it was alcohol and narcotics. This shows that both were fuelled by the temptation of the forbidden and the fixation with over indulgence. They depicted themselves as creatures of leisure and oddities in order to gain intrigue and interest within the art world. They were not afraid to push the boundaries and show the world who they really were through creative expression. .
Goya himself and his expression of morbid scenes and visual oddities influenced Salvador Dali. Dali was attracted to the gruesome scenes that Goya painted and revelled in all its horrific beauty.
All of these artists use the art of self-portrait as a means of displaying how wide spread and confusing personal identity can be. They display how the mind can have many different personalities and be effected by its environment and choices. .
The artwork, which seems to have the most visual impact, is Dali's "Soft Self-portrait with grilled bacon". It is intriguing and stimulating to the mind as you are both drawn to the painting and confused by it.
