The story of Dali and his wife

Born in May 1904, 1 1, Figueras, Catalonia, northeastern Spain. His childhood and adolescence were very active, which was especially important for his later career. Some anecdotes of this period, whether true or false, are the basis of many lasting images of him in the future, and his relationship with his parents and his wife Gallas plays a decisive role in the formation of his artistic personality. Dali always liked the scenery of his childhood, surrounded by the great plains of Figueras and the coast of Catalonia, with olive groves and pointed bald rocks. These ancient and sad landscapes not only serve as the background, but also enter his paintings as creatures. Apart from Picasso, salvador dali may be the most famous painter in the 20th century, but this does not mean that he was highly praised. There are many questions about Dali phenomenon: Why is Dali so famous and almost notorious? Is he an outstanding artist or a charlatan? Is he a modernist or a poor successor to classicism? In the field of art history, we are particularly concerned about the question: to what extent does Dali's art belong to surrealism? What is Dali's position in modern art? Dali phenomenon has raised such a fundamental question to us: What is the fate of art in 2 1 century? We might as well ask such a question, what kind of cultural phenomenon is the anti-art phenomenon like Dali?

Surrealism painting is one of the most influential movements in western modern literature and art, and Dali, as the main representative of this movement in the field of fine arts, has always been the object of people's attention and debate. The only difference between me and a madman is that I am not a madman. Every morning when I wake up, I am experiencing an extreme happiness, that is, the happiness of being Dali. You don't need to see Dali's beard sticking up to the sky, nor do you need to see his fantasy works. These extraordinary quips alone are enough to make you imagine what kind of person he is. Dali's reputation is mainly attributed to his self-promotion ability, but more importantly, his whimsical special talent. His whimsy stems from the hard-to-capture materials in life, such as sex, death, metamorphosis and the sky. He used to juxtapose things illogically. Turn emotional inspiration into a creative process, add your inner absurdity and strangeness to the external objective world, distort the familiar things, and then affirm them with fine photography techniques, so that the fantasy becomes true and credible. Dali has always claimed to be the savior of modern art and culture. He has made great achievements and won epoch-making victories every day: going to Paris, meeting Gallas, loving pastoral poetry and surrealism revolution. ...

In order to obtain contradictory visual images, he usually describes these created images in great detail and accurately. Perhaps the meticulous realism in form and the formal existence of these clear but unreal images are so disturbing.

During Dali's 70-year artistic career, everything he did stunned us. In those strange and absurd remarks, the rating "Master" has become Dali's brand. In the history of Spanish painting, together with velazquez, Goya, Miro, Picasso and other painting masters, he set off the beautiful sky of Spain and made a legend of the history of Spanish painting.

Dali's supercilious eyes always stare at the world gloomily.
