(*) (*) Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí was born in Figueras, Spain in 1904. Between 1921 and 1925 he studied at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid, where he befriended the poet Federico Garcia Lorca and the filmmaker Buñuel. In 1925 the Dalmau Gallery of Barcelona organized his first solo exhibition, an exhibition after which Picasso and Miró began to take an interest in his works. Dalí was initially influenced by Futurism, then by Cubism (1925). In April 1926 Dalí first traveled to Paris where he visited Picasso. On his second trip to Paris, in 1929, he attended the filming of Buñuel’s movie “Un doge Andalou” of which Dalí is a co-scriptwriter, and Miró introduced him to the Surrealist group. Dalí met André Breton and ……Gala, his future wife and muse (married at the time to Paul Éluard). He joined the Surrealist movement in 1929. Dalí was interested in Freud’s psychoanalytic theories and defined his method as “paranoiac-critical.” He painted dreamlike and phantasmagoric spaces populated with symbolic elements: soft watches, canes, fantastic animals, distorted figures. Dalí continued to participate in surrealist performances and exhibitions after his exclusion in 1934. Dalí interpreted in his own way several famous works, such as Millet’s The Angelus, giving several versions of them. Breton nicknamed him “Avocado Dollar” ! After the Spanish Civil War he politically aligned himself with Franco. From the 1940s he declared that he wanted to move closer to reality and returned to a more classical pictorial expression, while still imprinting his personal fantasy onto his works. Recurring themes in both his painted and etched works are the woman, sex, religion, and battles. Dalí performed in peculiar shows throughout his career, mixing art and life, constantly stage-setting himself. After ten years of effort, Dalí opened his own museum: in 1974 the Dalí Theatre-Museum was inaugurated. Dalí’s last passion was “stereoscopic” painting (1975), and he presented his first “hyper-stereoscopic” work in New York in 1978. Dalí, who described himself as a “cannibal,” a “megalomaniac,” and a “polymorphous perverse,” died in Barcelona, Spain, in 1989.
