The Life of the Characters in salvador dali's Works

Salvador dali (1904 May 1 1) was born in Figueras and died on June 23rd, 1989. He is a talented and imaginative painter. He turned the subjective world of dreams into an objective and exciting image, and made great contributions to surrealism and art in the 20th century. Dali's life is full of legends. In addition to his paintings, his articles, eloquence, movements, looks and beards have left a confused impression on those who appreciate him. Dali studied fine arts in Madrid and Barcelona when he was young. He absorbed various artistic styles and showed his extraordinary skills as a painter. However, it was not until the late 1920s that two things made his painting style mature. First, he discovered Freud's important works about subconscious image sex; Secondly, he made friends with a group of brilliant Parisian surrealists, who tried to prove that the human subconscious is a "more important reality" beyond reason.

In order to produce images from the subconscious, Dali began to induce hallucinations in himself by a method called "paranoid critical state". After Dali discovered this method, his painting style quickly matured. His paintings from 1929 to 1937 made him the most famous surrealist artist in the world. In his dream, he juxtaposed, twisted or deformed ordinary objects in a strange and unreasonable way. Among these enigmatic images, the most famous one is "Eternity of Memory" (193 1). In this painting, a soft, flexible and melting watch sets off a horribly calm landscape.

Dali also co-produced two surreal films with Spanish film director L bunuel, namely An Andalusian Dog (1928) and The Golden Age (1930), which are also full of grotesque but suggestive images. In the late 1930s, under the influence of Raphael, a Renaissance painter, Dali's paintings turned to a more classical style.

After that, he spent a lot of time designing stage scenery, interior decoration of fashionable shops and jewelry. During the period of 1950 ~ 1970, he had many paintings with religious themes, but he still explored the theme of sex, described his childhood memories, and made his wife Galla the central image of these themes. Although these late paintings are skillful, their objective evaluation is lower than that of early works. Among Dali's works, the most interesting and revealing is The Secret Life of salvador dali (1942 ~ 1944). Many of his works are full of violence and criticism of traditional social asceticism. His representative works include Eternity of Memory, The Shrew and the Moon, The Omen of Civil War, etc.

Salvador dali1May, 904 1 1 was born in a small town in figueres, Spain, and spent his childhood there. His birthplace is only about 16 miles from France. Dali's father is a notary with a well-off family. He once set up his first art studio for Dali in Kadax, a small fishing village by the sea.

Salvador dali was very active in his childhood and adolescence, 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.

When he grew up, Dali and his wife Galla set up their own family in the nearby port of Liegat. Many of his works reflect his love for Port of Spain. 1922 young Dali came to study at san fernando Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. Here, Dali's paintings made him famous. He explored cubism in his paintings and attracted the attention of later outstanding figures in the Spanish art world, such as Fidry? Galicia? Lorca and Pei Bin? Peyo? Bunuel. His talent was first discovered by the world in his solo exhibition in Barcelona in 1925. At the 3rd Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh from 65438 to 0928, he exhibited three works, such as Basket of Bread, which won him an international reputation. The following year, Dali held his first solo exhibition in Paris. In the same year, he joined the surrealist school led by Andrei Brayton, a former Dada member. It was in this year that Dali met Gallas in Kadaks, when she happened to visit Dali with her husband and poet Paul Elude. Since then, Gala has become Dali's favorite, his business manager and the main source of inspiration. Soon, Dali became the leader of the surrealist movement. His work Eternity of Memory depicts a soft clock, which is one of the most outstanding surrealist works in the world today.

However, as the war approached, Dali, who had always been indifferent to politics, clashed with other surrealists and was finally expelled from the surrealist group in an "interrogation" in 1934. However, in the next ten years, he can still appear in the international surrealist works exhibition. Around 1940, Dali formed a new style-this period was his "classic" period-which showed his concentration on science and religion. During World War II, Dali and Gallas fled Europe and spent eight years in the United States from 1940 to 1948. This period is a very important period in Dali's life. He was not only rich in artistic activities, but also regained his Catholic faith.
