(*) 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 García 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 work. Dalí was first influenced by Futurism, then by Cubism (1925). In April 1926 Dalí traveled for the first time to Paris where he visited Picasso. On his second trip to Paris, in 1929, he attended the filming of Buñuel’s film “Un Chien Andalou” (Andalusian Dog) of which Dalí was co-scriptwriter, and Miró introduced him to the group of the Surrealists. 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 became interested in Freud’s psychoanalytic theories and defined his method as “paranoiac-critical.” He painted during that period dreamlike and phantasmagoric spaces populated with symbolic elements: soft watches, canes, fantastical animals, distorted figures. Dalí continued to participate in surrealist manifestations and exhibitions after his exclusion in 1934. Dalí, in his own way, interpreted several famous works, such as Millet’s The Angelus, giving several versions of them. Breton nicknamed him “Avide Dólar”! After the Spanish Civil War he politically aligned himself with Franco. From the 1940s he stated that he wished to move closer to reality and returned to a more classical pictorial expression, without ceasing to imprint his personal fantasy on his works. Recurring themes in both his painted and print works are the woman, sex, religion, battles. Dalí presented himself in peculiar shows throughout his career, blending art and life, constantly staging 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 perversity,” died in Barcelona (Spain) in 1989.
