|  Surrealist Art Alright, so I'm doing this project on Salvador Dali at the moment for my spanish class, and it made me remember this painting, it's been a while since I've seen it but it was what got me into surrealist art, and especially Salvador Dali, but I can't seem to find this picture. What I recall, not sure if it is by Dali or not (been scouring Dali archives for it with no luck..) but it is a picture of a young, beautiful woman, but at the same time it symbolizes death, with a black skull or something to that effect. Sorry for the vague description but this is all I can come up with at the moment. Any ideas??

| I love the Surreal Art and I too am forever inspired by Dali. Not sure about the above mentioned piece but I thought you might like this one.

| Damn that is a pretty cool one. Not what I was looking for but i turned in the project anyways so it's no worry. Anyhoo if anyone knows what it is it would sure be appreciated, I've tried my hardest to remember more details but so far all I have is that it is a woman with features like one of those old porcelean dolls looking in a mirror or combing her hair or something to that effect, and if I remember right her hair looks like a skull, skeleton, death-mask or something morbid. It's buggin the hell out of me! |

| I found this picture entitled "All is Vanity" by Charles Gilbert. Apparently it's been redone a few times.  |

| Yeah I saw that one too in my massive internet witch hunt for the correct painting, I don't belive that's the one though because I remember it being lighter (color-wise) and somehow more frightening than this one. Maybe my memory is just failing me (tends to happen alot these days..) but it just doesn't ring a bell. Thanks for the help though. |
