(*) (*) 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 works. Dalí was first influenced by Futurism, then by Cubism (1925). In April 1926 Dalí traveled to Paris for the first time where he met Picasso. On his second trip to Paris, in 1929, he attended the filming of Buñuel’s film “Un Chien Andalou” of which Dalí was co-scriptwriter, and Miró introduced him to the group of surrealists. Dalí meets André Breton and ……Gala, his future wife and muse (then married to Paul Éluard). He joins the Surrealist movement in 1929. Dalí’s interest in Freudian psychoanalytic theories led him to define his method as “paranoiac-critical.” He painted dreamlike and phantasmagoric spaces populated with symbolic elements: soft watches, canes, fantastic animals, distorted figures. Dalí still participated in surrealist manifestations and exhibitions after his exclusion in 1934. Dalí interprets several famous works in his own way, such as Millet’s Angelus, producing several versions of them. Breton nicknames him “Avid Dollar”! After the Spanish Civil War he politically aligned himself with Franco. From the 1940s he declares his desire to approach reality and returns to a more classical pictorial expression, while still imprinting his personal fantasy on his works. Recurring themes in both his painted and printed works are women, sex, religion, and battles. Dalí staged peculiar exhibitions throughout his career, mixing art and life, constantly putting himself on display. 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 “polymorphic pervert,” died in Barcelona (Spain) in 1989.
