Picasso and Dali are the names of two artists that create works with hideous and frightening images that distract from the rage but do not lessen the power of ideas to harness a man like a horse. Bataille uses them in "Visions" as examples of surrealist artists who create painting in which the ugliness can be hateful but gives an illusion of beauty, which is the opposite of one that conceals nothing.
