(*) (*) 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 Cubism (1925). In April 1926 Dalí travels to Paris for the first time where he visits Picasso. On his second trip to Paris, in 1929, he attends the filming of Buñuel’s movie “Un Chien Andalou” of which Dalí is co-writer, and Miró introduces him to the group of the Surrealists. Dalí meets André Breton and ……Gala, his future wife and muse (married at the time to Paul Eluard). He joins the Surrealist movement in 1929. Dalí is interested in Freud’s psychoanalytic theories and defines his method as “paranoiac-critical.” He paints in that period dreamlike and phantasmagoric spaces populated with symbolic elements: soft watches, crutches, fantastical animals, twisted figures. Dalí continues to participate in surrealist demonstrations and exhibitions after his exclusion in 1934. Dalí interprets several famous works in his own way, such as Millet’s Angelus, giving several versions of them. Breton nicknames him “Ávida Dólar”! After the Spanish Civil War he politically aligns with Franco. From the 1940s he states that he wants to approach reality and returns to a more classical pictorial expression, while still imprinting his personal fantasy in his works. Recurring themes in both his painted works and his graphic works are the woman, sex, religion, battles. Dalí performs in peculiar spectacles throughout his career, mixing art and life, constantly staging himself. After ten years of effort, Dalí opens his own museum: in 1974 the Dalí Theatre-Museum opens. Dalí’s last passion was “stereoscopic” painting (1975) and he presents his first work “hyper-stereoscopic” in New York in 1978. Dalí, who described himself as a “cannibal,” “megalomaniac,” and a “polymorphic pervert,” dies in Barcelona (Spain) in 1989.
