Dalí

Salvador Dali was born in 1904 in Figueres (Spain) he is considered as the most important painter of the surrealist art movement. He took over the Surrealist theory and he transformed it into a more positive method that he named “critical paranoia”.
He joined a Surrealist group in Paris where he meets Gala and he falls in love. They started a relationship that continued until his death in 1982.
During that period Dali focuses on eroticism and paints pictures as “The Great Masturbator”. At the age of twelve he discovers the style of the French impressionists and becomes an impressionist, later he knows Picasso’s art and become a cubist. Finally he died in 1989 at the age of 85.

Dali is known for his for his surrealist paintings, they are very impressive. He had the ability to create a personal style and recognized in all the world. One of his best known works is “The Persistence of Memory”. He showed provocatively all the intimate situations of his life and thoughts.

We admire Dali for his great imaginative capacity. For being like he was in spite of being criticized by it. As we can see in his biography he was very precocious
When we see his paintings we escape from the real world and we enter in a dream that we can control.
Two years ago I went to his museum house, and I saw a lot of interesting things and I could see how exentric he was. He only had his bedroom, he never invited to sleep anybody. He had a mirror in the bedroom focused at the window, so that when he awoke he could see the sun without leaving the bed. He was an interesting person .
