 Salvador Dalí 's last painting , The Swallow 's Tail ( 1983 ) , was part of a series inspired by René Thom 's catastrophe theory . The Spanish painter and sculptor Pablo Palazuelo ( 1916 – 2007 ) focused on the investigation of form . He developed a style that he described as the geometry of life and the geometry of all nature . Consisting of simple geometric shapes with detailed patterning and coloring , in works such as Angular I and Automnes , Palazuelo expressed himself in geometric transformations .

 The series ' impact on Dalí is evident in Soft Construction with Boiled Beans ( Premonition of Civil War ) , painted in 1936 in response to events leading to the Spanish Civil War . Here , the distorted limbs , brutal suppression , agonised expressions and ominous clouds are reminiscent of plate 39 , Grande hazaña ! Con muertos ! ( A heroic feat ! With dead men ! ) , in which mutilated bodies are shown against a backdrop barren landscape .

 The 1906 exhibition of Gauguin 's work left Picasso more than ever in this artist 's thrall . Gauguin demonstrated the most disparate types of art — not to speak of elements from metaphysics , ethnology , symbolism , the Bible , classical myths , and much else besides — could be combined into a synthesis that was of its time yet timeless . An artist could also confound conventional notions of beauty , he demonstrated , by harnessing his demons to the dark gods ( not necessarily Tahitian ones ) and tapping a new source of divine energy .

 Berni 's post @-@ 1950s work can be viewed as " a synthesis of Pop Art and Social realism . " In 1958 he began collecting and collaging discarded material to create a series of works featuring a character named Juanito Laguna . The series became a social narrative on industrialization and poverty and pointed out the extreme disparities existing between the wealthy Argentine aristocracy and the " Juanitos ” of the slums .

 Notable Juanito works include Retrato de Juanito Laguna ( Portrait of Juanito Laguna ) , El mundo prometido a Juanito ( The World Promised to Juanito ) , and Juanito va a la ciudad ( Juanito Goes to the City ) . Art featuring Juanito ( and Ramona Montiel , a similar female character ) won Berni the Grand Prix for Printmaking at the Venice Biennale in 1962 .
