Salvador Dali - Spain
Art Brokerage: Park West Artist: Salvador Dali Spanish Artist: Salvador Dal铆 was a renowned Spanish Surrealist artist known for his enigmatic paintings of dreamscapes and religious themes. The Persistence of Memory (1931), arguably his best known work, visually manifests the strangeness of time by depicting clocks melting in an idyllic landscape. 鈥淥ne day it will have to be officially admitted that what we have christened reality is an even greater illusion than the world of dreams,鈥 he once reflected. Born Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dal铆 i Dom猫nech on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Spain, he displayed a great aptitude for the visual arts as a teenager. Three years after his first exhibition at the age of 14, he enrolled at the Academia de San Fernando in Madrid. At school, he emulated many contemporary styles but also the works of Johannes Vermeer and Diego Vel谩zquez. During his visits to Paris in the late 1920s, he was introduced to the Surrealist movement by Ren茅 Magritte and Joan Mir贸. Though the concept of Surrealism was new to him, Dal铆 was already well versed in the psychoanalytic theories of Sigmund Freud. Dabbling in various projects throughout his long career, in 1942 he published the book The Secret Life of Salvador Dal铆. A mixture of self-aggrandizing confessions and sadistic fantasies about his childhood, the book further outlined the artist鈥檚 outlandish persona. However, his pronounced sense of ego was not always unfounded, as evinced in his works inclusion in Alfred Hitchcock鈥檚 famous dream sequence from the film Spellbound (1945). Dal铆 died on January 23, 1989 in his hometown of Figueres, Spain. Today, his works are held in the collections of The Museum of Modern Art in New York, the Tate Modern in London, the Reina Sofia National Museum in Madrid, and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, among others.
