Dalí and artworks 1904-1989

Victoria Charles

Description

Painter, designer, creator of bizarre objects, author and film maker, Dalí became the most famous of the Surrealists. Buñuel, Lorca, Picasso and Breton all had a great influence on his career. Dalí's film, An Andalusian Dog, produced with Buñuel, marked his official entry into the tightly-knit group of Parisian Surrealists, where he met Gala, the woman who became his lifelong companion and his source of inspiration. But his relationship soon deteriorated until his final rift with André Breton in 1939. Nevertheless Dalí's art remained surrealist in its philosophy and expression and a prime example of his freshness, humour and exploration of the subconscious mind. Throughout his life, Dalí was a genius at self-promotion, creating and maintaining his reputation as a mythical figure.

“In view of the tangle of riddles, Dalí has emerged to conquer the world of painting, and out of this fight has brought us something more valuable than gold. He has opened up new horizons to spread them before us, but above all has given us something more tangible: Salvador Dalí.”
– Julien Green

Biography
1903
August 1, death of Dalí’s elder brother, Salvador Galo Anselmo, at the age of two from gastroenteritis.
1904
May 11, birth of Salvadore Felipe Jacinto Dalí in Figueras, a small fishing village in Spain. The family name, unusual in Spain, stems from the Catalan word “adalil”, which in turn has its roots in the Arabic and means “leader”.
1910
Dalí’s grandmother Maria Ana Ferrés and aunt Catalina moved into Dalí’s family home.
1914
Dalí’s oldest existing works are dated from 1914.
1916
Aged twelve, Dalí was sent on holiday to the “Mulí de la Torre” estate of some family friends, the Pitchots, a few kilometers from Figueras, a place which became a place of magic for the then young Salvador.
1918
In winter, Dalí took part in a group exhibition of artists from Figueras. In the local newspaper, the fourteen-year-old was celebrated as an up-and-coming “master painter”.
1919
Summer spent in Cadaqués, his father’s birthplace on the Costa Brava, in a little holiday house.
1921
February 6, death of Felipa Doménech, Dalí’s mother. The father promptly married his deceased wife’s sister, Catalin, who had already been living in his household for the last eleven years.
