(*) 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 visited Picasso. On his second trip to Paris, in 1929, he attended the filming of Buñuel’s movie “Un Chien Andalou,” of which Dalí was co-writer, and Miró introduced him to the group of surrealists. Dalí met André Breton and… Gala, his future wife and muse (at that time married 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 in 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 interpreted several famous works in his own way, such as Millet’s The Angelus, giving multiple versions of them. Breton nicknamed him “Voracious Dollar”!
After the Spanish Civil War he became politically aligned in favor of Franco. From the 1940s he declared that he wanted to approach reality and returned to a more classical pictorial expression, though still imprinting his personal fantasy in his works.
Recurring themes in both his painted and print works are women, sex, religion, battles. Dalí presented himself in peculiar performances 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 final 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,” “megalomaniac,” and “polymorphic pervert,” died in Barcelona (Spain) in 1989.
