Painters - 09 - Salvador Dali (1904-1989)
Salvador Dali the most famous of all Surrealist artists of the 20th century, was born in Figueres, Spain. He studied art in an art school in Madrid and left it in 1926.
Dali returned to Figueres and there met the leading members of the Surrealist group in 1928.
Dali joined the Surrealist movement and by 1929 was incorporating highly personal, often Freudian, symbolic images into his paintings. Of all the Surrealist artistd, the self proclaimed genius Salvador Dali became the most famous.
Many critics have dismissed Dali as a self-obsessed prankster, but his skilful technique and remarkable, often disturbing, vision left an indelible mark on 20th century art.
Dali was also involved in Surrealistic films and wrote books on his artistic theories. Dali collaborated with Luis Bunuel on the films ‘Un Chien Andalou’ (1928) and L’ Age d’or (1930).
Dali also explored the arena of the Surrealistic objects in particular with his infamous combination of a lobster and a telephone.
On the whole his style, a blend of meticulous realism and hallucinatory transformation of form and space, made him an outstanding exponent of Surrealism. His dream-like paintings exploit the human fear of distortion as in ‘The Persistence of Memory’.
His famous creation ‘Sleep’ deals with one of the favourite Surrealist subjects – dreams. Believing that art should come from the subconscious, the Surrealists were fascinated by the potential of dreams – the realm of the unrestrained subconscious. In the creation ‘Sleep’, a dismembered head, suspended with the aid of many crutches eerily conveys the feeling of a separation from the body that occurs during sleep.
‘Autumnal Cannibalism’, ‘The Persistence of Memory’, ‘Raphaelesque Head Exploding’ and ‘Soft Self Portrait’ are among Dali’s major creations.
