(*) 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 work. Dalí was first influenced by futurism, then by cubism (1925). In April 1926 Dalí travelled 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 film “Un chien Andalou” (The Andalusian Dog) of which Dalí was co-scriptwriter, and Miró introduced him to the Surrealist group. 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 became interested in Freud’s psychoanalytic theories and defined his method as “paranoiac-critical.” He painted in that period dreamlike and phantasmagoric spaces populated by symbolic elements: soft watches, canes, fantastical animals, distorted figures. Dalí still participated in surrealist manifestations and exhibitions after his expulsion in 1934. Dalí performed his own versions of several famous works, such as Millet’s Angelus. Breton nicknamed him “Affectionate Dollar.”

After the Spanish Civil War he politically aligned himself with Franco. From the 1940s he stated that he wanted to approach 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 etched works are the woman, sex, religion, battles. Dalí staged peculiar performances throughout his career, mixing art and life, constantly putting himself on stage. After ten years of effort, Dalí opened his own museum: in 1974 the Teatro-Museo Dalí 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,” a “megalomaniac,” and a “polymorphic pervert,” died in Barcelona, Spain, in 1989.
