(*) (*) 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 in 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 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 film “Un Chien Andalou” of which Dalí is co-scriptwriter, and Miró introduces him to the Surrealist group. Dalí meets André Breton and ……Gala, his future wife and muse (then married to Paul Eluard). He joined the Surrealist movement in 1929. Dalí became interested in Freud’s psychoanalytic theories and defined his method as “paranoiac-critical.” He painted dreamlike and phantasmagoric spaces populated by symbolic elements: soft watches, crutches, fantastical animals, distorted figures. Dalí still participated in surrealist demonstrations and exhibitions after his exclusion in 1934. Dalí paraphrased several famous works in his own way, such as Millet’s Angelus, providing several versions of them. Breton nicknamed him “Avide Dollar”! After the Spanish Civil War, he politically aligned himself with Franco. From the 1940s onwards he declared he wanted to draw closer to reality and returned to a more classical pictorial expression, while continuing to imprint his personal fantasy on his works. Recurring themes in both his painted and engraved works are women, sex, religion, battles. Dalí performed in peculiar spectacles 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 the “stereoscopic” painting (1975) and he presented his first “hyper-stereoscopic” work in New York in 1978. Dalí, who described himself as a “cannibal,” “megalomaniac,” and “polymorphic pervert,” died in Barcelona, Spain, in 1989.
