At this point in my mind I have the presidential song playing non-stop, how can I g et it out of my head? I wish there was a way to type out instrumental lyrics if that’s possible to obtain then you will know what I’m talking about. I wonder what it was like growing up during 1861-1865. No actually ill take tat back growing up for me, being a minority, and of someone of culture I might have been a little hard. However, president Abraham Lincoln had his way of reaching out to the minority community, for example, slaves. Though, there are some theories on whether or not he helped, freed or protected those that are color in race.
At this point of my exhibit in Hart Hall at the University of California Davis, I look across the room and saw a one of Dalí’s sculpted/painting and I said to myself “hmmm, that portrait looks a lot like Lincoln”. As I made my way into looking at other paintings I finally went over to discover what was really hidden in this portrait and what do you know it was Dalí’s Lincoln in Dalí Vision in Platinum Bas Relief (1979)

I took very good note that in the middle of his face there was an image of a naked backside. I wasn’t sure if it was female or male and I wondered if signified something. Well of course it, if it wasn’t it wouldn’t be apart of the portrait. This portrait signifies the reflection of Lincoln’s connection to culture. It is a very strong and political piece.
