With a career that spanned more than six decades, Salvador Dalí is undoubtedly one of the most influential figures in modern art. Upon his death in 1989, he'd created an astonishing legacy that not only includes his most famous Surrealist paintings, but sculpture, film, photography, and much more. As an eccentric figure from childhood, Dalí loved to push the boundaries—both in his personal and professional life. And he was also a hustler and master of self-promotion. Let's look at just some of the interesting facts about Dalí's life, some of which may surprise you. Here are 15 facts about Salvador Dalí, the eccentric master of , that you may not know. 1. He believed he was a reincarnation of his dead brother. Dalí wasn't the only Salvador in his family. Not only was his father named Salvador, but so was his older brother. Dalí's brother died just nine months before the artist was born. When the famed artist was 5 years old, his parents took him to his brother's grave and told him that he was his brother's reincarnation. It was a concept that Dalí himself believed, calling his deceased sibling “a first version of myself but conceived too much in the absolute.” His older brother would become prominent in Dalí's later work, like the 1963 Portrait of My Dead Brother. 2. He started painting as a young child. Dalí’s earliest known painting was produced in 1910 when he was just 6 years old. Titled Landscape of Figueres , the oil-on-postcard scene depicts the lush green hills and mountainous backdrop of his hometown, Figueres. The impressive piece reveals the iconic artist’s incredible, natural-born talent at such a young age. It now hangs in the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. 3. He was expelled from art school (twice). Proving that he was a rebel from the start, Dalí was expelled from art school—not once, but twice. Young Dalí's artistic talent was fostered from a young age, particularly by his mother, who passed away when he was just 16 years old. While studying at the Fine Arts Academy in Madrid, he was known for his eccentric behavior and dress, which was that of a 19th-century British dandy. Unfortunately, Dalí never graduated. His first expulsion came in 1923, for his role in a student protest. After returning to the school, he faced a second expulsion just before his final exams in 1926. In his 1942 autobiography The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí , that artist wrote that he was expelled because he wouldn't sit for his oral exams. “I am infinitely more intelligent than these three professors, and I therefore refuse to be examined by them. I know this subject much too well.” But the expulsion didn't slow him down, that same year he traveled to Paris for the first time and met his idol, Pablo Picasso.

While Dalí's surreal artwork and eccentric behavior may have you think otherwise, the artist did not use any chemical substances to alter his state. In fact, he once famously stated, “I don't do drugs, I am drugs.” To spur his creativity, in the early 1930s he developed something called the paranoiac-critical method. This allowed him to access his subconscious and was a major contribution to the Surrealist movement. One way he kept himself in a dreamlike state included staring fixedly at a particular object until it transformed into another form, sparking a sort of hallucination. 5. Surrealists weren’t pleased with him. Though Dalí is considered a key figure in the Surrealist movement, the group wasn't happy to have him early in his career. Many in the group were communist and weren't pleased with Dalí's fascist sympathies. The artist had a fascination with Hitler that the Surrealists found unsettling. He once said, “I often dreamed about Hitler as other men dreamed about women” and even went as far as to include Hitler in his artwork. This includes 1958's Metamorphosis of Hitler’s Face into a Moonlit Landscape with Accompaniment, where the Nazi leader's portrait is disguised in a landscape. Over twenty years earlier, in 1934, André Breton would call a meeting to try and have Dalí expelled from the Surrealist group, writing “Dalí having been found guilty on several occasions of counterrevolutionary actions involving the glorification of Hitlerian fascism, the undersigned propose that he be excluded from surrealism as a fascist element and combated by all available means.” Of course, Dalí continued with his own beliefs, even supporting Spanish dictator Francisco Franco, whom he met with several times.

Elena Ivanovna Diakonova, known as Gala, was ten years older than Dalí and married to Surrealist poet Paul Éluard when she first met him in 1929. A love affair quickly developed, with Gala eventually divorcing Éluard—though they remained close. The couple married in a civil ceremony in 1934, despite Dalí's family's unease with him marrying an older Russian divorcee. She had a pivotal role in the artist's career, becoming his business manager and muse. By the 1950s, Gala was publicly engaged in extramarital affairs, though it's said that Dalí encouraged this. And in 1969, when Dalí purchased her a Catalan castle in Púbol, it was specified that he could visit her there only if invited in writing. Throughout their lives, there's no doubt they shared an intense and cerebral love. He wrote, “ I would polish Gala to make her shine, make her the happiest possible, caring for her more than myself, because without her, it would all end.” 7. He tricked Yoko Ono. Always up for a prank, some consider Dalí a bit of a con man. Close friend and muse Amanda Lear recalls how he once duped Yoko Ono, selling her a blade of grass for $10,000. Apparently, Ono had asked Dalí to sell him a strand of hair from his infamous mustache. Not one to turn down a check, he got creative. “ thought that Yoko Ono was a witch and might use it in a spell. He didn't want to send her a personal item, much less one of his hairs,” Lear explained. “So he sent me to the garden to find a dry blade of grass, and sent it off in a nice presentation box. The idiot paid 10,000 dollars for it. It amused him to rip people off.” 8. He collaborated with Disney. In 1946, Salvador Dalí and Disney designer John Hench worked on an animated film together called . Dalí created 22 oil paintings and countless drawings that Hench then turned into film storyboards. However, just 8 months in, the work stopped due to financial reasons and the film was left unfinished, with only 15 seconds of demo reel completed. In 1999, Walt Disney’s nephew and longtime senior executive for The Walt Disney Company, Roy E. Disney, decided to revive the production of Destino . The finished, 6-minute short was released in 2003 and tells the story of a ballerina on a surreal journey through a desert landscape. 9. He designed the logo. Dalí had no issue participating in commercial work. He designed ads for Gap and even appeared in a commercial for Lanvin chocolates in 1968. In fact, André Breton, the father of Surrealism, gave him the nickname “Avida Dollars” or “eager for dollars.” But one of his most enduring contributions to graphic design is the Chupa Chups logo. Dalí designed the logo for the Spanish lollipop brand in 1969, and it is still used today. .ﺳﯿﺮة ﺳﻠﻔﺎدور داﻟﻲ ، اﻟﻔﻨﺎن اﻟﺴﻮرﯾﺎﻟﻲ اﺷﺘﮭﺮ اﻟﻔﻨﺎن اﻟﻜﺎﺗﺎﻟﻮﻧﻲ اﻻﺳﺒﺎﻧﻲ ﺳﻠﻔﺎدور داﻟﻲ (1904-1989) ﺑﺈﺑﺪاﻋﺎﺗﮫ اﻟﺴﺮﯾﺎﻟﯿﺔ وﺣﯿﺎه اﻟﺒﺮاﻗﺔ. ﻟﻘﺪ أﻧﺘﺞ داﻟﻲ ﻟﻮﺣﺎت ﻣﺒﺘﻜﺮة وﻏﻨﯿﺔ ﺑﺎﻷﻧﻮاع ، واﻟﻨﺤﺖ ، واﻷزﯾﺎء ، واﻹﻋﻼﻧﺎت ، واﻟﻜﺘﺐ ، واﻷﻓﻼم. ﺟﻌﻞ ﺷﺎرﺑﮫ اﻟﻐﺮﯾﺐ اﻟﻤﻘﻠﻮب واﻟﻐﺮﯾﺒﺔ اﻟﻐﺮﯾﺒﺔ ﻣﻦ داﻟﻲ رﻣ ًﺰا ﺛﻘﺎﻓﯿًﺎ. ﻋﻠﻰ اﻟﺮﻏﻢ ﻣﻦ ﺗﺠﻨﺒﮫ ﻣﻦ ﻗﺒﻞ أﻋﻀﺎء اﻟﺤﺮﻛﺔ اﻟﺴﺮﯾﺎﻟﯿﺔ ، ﯾﻌﺘﺒﺮ ﺳﻠﻔﺎدور داﻟﻲ ﻣﻦ ﺑﯿﻦ أﺷﮭﺮ .اﻟﻔﻨﺎﻧﯿﻦ اﻟﺴﺮﯾﺎﻟﯿﯿﻦ ﻓﻲ اﻟﻌﺎﻟﻢ .ﻣﺮﺣﻠﺔ اﻟﻄﻔﻮﻟﺔ

A visit to a Dali Museum is not only a visit to a place that houses art, but it is a visit to an art piece itself. A Dali Museum is built to replicate Dali, it is created with the surreal in mind, and it is Dali’s home. Each year, thousands of visitors from around the globe flock to Dali museums and exhibits. People travel hundreds of miles to the Dali museum in Florida. Tourists make detours during trips to to stop by the Dali museum in Figueres. Dali fans from all over the world want to get an up close look at one of their favorite artists. When visiting a museum, any museum, especially a museum dedicated to a specific artist one gets pulled into the mind of that artist, in this case one will get pulled into the mind of Dali. The Dali Museum. The Dali Museum in St. Petersburg Florida recently moved. A brand new facility was built using surrealist design. This new building will host over 200,000 visitors a year. The Salvador Dali Museum has the largest collection of Salvador Dali work in the United States. They currently have close to 100 oil paintings, over a 100 watercolors and drawings. The Salvador Dali Museum also has over 1,300 graphic prints and other art work references, such as photographs, sculptures, and a library. Housed at the Salvador Dali Museum are some of Dali’s greatest masterpieces; Daddy Longlegs of the Evening, The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, Galacidalacidesoxiribunucleicacid, Portrait of My Dead Brother, The Hallucinogenic Toreador, and Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at Twenty Meters Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln . The Salvador Dali Museum’s new home is 20,000 square feet which gives the museum the ability to share and display all of their oil paintings. It also has the “glass enigma” a glass shell which provides a beautiful view of Tampa Bay. The museum has been home to some of the most renowned Dali Exhibits such as; Dali & Mass Culture (2004-2005), Dali Centennial (2004), Dali by the Decades (2007), Dali in Focus (2008), and of course, Dali in Film (2008). The Salvador Dali Museums host a number of events and are considered a bright spot of tourism for the city of St. Petersburg. Dali Theatre and Museum. The Dali Theatre and Museum is located in Figueres, Spain, the hometown of Salvador Dali. Personally designed by Dali and built over an old town theatre where he visited as a child, the museum was a dream come true for Dali when it opened in 1974. The museum is the home of Dali’s estate, The Gala-Salvador Dali Society, and in 1989, Dali’s final resting place. The museum has the largest and most diverse collection of Salvador Dali art work including; Soft Self-Portrait with Fried Bacon, Atomic , The Girl from Figueres, Apotheosis of the Dollar, and Dawn, Noon, Afternoon, and Evening , as well as original works of art. The museum hosts thousands of visitors a year. They truly experience the mind of Dali. They encounter designs and rooms thought of by Dali. Dali painted walls and ceilings specifically for the museum. You also see a living room designed by Dali which is made to look like Mae West. Visitors awe at the glass dome of the museum, which provides a wonderful view of the Spanish sky. It is meant to represent a new world, a Dalinean world. You walk into the dome and out of this world, into Dali’s mind. Both of these museums; The Salvador Dali Museum & The Dali Theatre and Museum, are Dalinean landmarks which provide art lovers with a unique museum experience. They represent the life of one of the 20th century’s most innovated thinkers. They help carry on Dali’s legacy and promote his brand of Surrealism. Please make an effort to visit a Dali museum. You will have your breath taken away as you marvel, up close and personal, to the brilliant works of art by Salvador Dali. Quotes. If you search Salvador Dali + Quotes you will be bombarded with both insightful and surreal words from the mouth of the Spanish Surrealist Master, Salvador Dali. His words have inspired millions of Facebook likes, countless blog post and repost, and endless philosophical discussions. Today Dali’s sayings are almost as popular as his paintings. A Salvador Dali quote is a mix of whimsical insight and brutal truth. Let us un-package some of these Dali quotes. “At the age of six I wanted to be a cook. At seven I wanted to be Napoleon, and my ambition has been growing ever since.” – Salvador Dali Quote. This Dali quote exemplifies a distinct characteristic of Dali. Ambition. Dali was ambitious beyond what words could describe. Everything had to be louder, bigger, more surreal, more DALI!! Dali wanted to be the world’s most famous artist. He wanted his legacy to live forever. This quote is a perfect example of Dali’s immense ambition. “I don’t do drugs. I am a drug.” – Salvador Dali Quote. In the midst of the counter culture revolution of the sixties Dali looked around and saw everyone on some kind of high. His realization, I only need myself to get high, or to reach other levels of consciousness. By the time the 1960s came around, Dali was already one of the most well known figures in the world, but his brand of surrealism attracted a new audience whose interest in the psychedelic would mesh perfectly with Dali’s art. Dali provided the impetus for his own creativity, his own art, he needed nothing else outside of himself to verify it. “Each morning I wake and I experience again a supreme pleasure, the pleasure of being Salvador Dali.” – Salvador Dali Quote. People’s initial reaction to this might think that Dali is self-absorb. I know for a fact that he was self-absorbed, but in a way that we might not have considered. This quote is about pure confidence, confidence in one’s self. Dali had that. There wasn’t a decision he made that he ever doubted, there wasn’t a vision he saw that he believed wasn’t a grand work of art. Dali embraced what he did best, to create art, not just with paint and brushes, but with his life. He understood that life was to believed as a giant art project. Getting up for him, every morning, was like getting to work on a new piece of art, getting up to play. Who wouldn’t love that feeling? “The only difference between me and a madman is that I’m not mad.” – Salvador Dali Quote. There is only one difference between our normal self, and a self that has gone completely insane, a moment of madness. Everything else is the same. Dali understood that within us we each have the capacity to reach those limits. People thought Dali was mad, he knew he was far from it, but understood what being “mad” was. “Begin by learning to draw and paint like the old masters. After that, you can do as you like; everyone will respect you.” – Salvador Dali Quote. Dali was a complete technician through and through, make no doubt about it. What very few people know, is that he might have been the most talented painter of the 20th century when it came to painting technique. This came from Dali’s early training and his admiration for ’s old masters; Vermeer, Velasquez, Rembrandt. In fact, he dedicated an entire graphic prints suite to works by these masters, Changes in Great Masterpieces. His mustache was inspired by Velasquez, his theory and use of light he study from Vermeer, his exercise of contrast he learned from Rembrandt. Dali once stated he would gladly chop of a limb if for a moment he could see Velasquez work in his study. “I do not understand why, when I ask for grilled lobster in a restaurant, I’m never served a cooked telephone.” – Salvador Dali Quote. 6 Masterpieces Of Dali And Their Meanings. You have probably encountered much strange news about the insane Dali. However, I have yet to come up with an analysis of what his works are telling us, and I have prepared a Onedio content that deals with this issue and which I think might be useful to people who are curious about it. When I know the find stories about works of art, I think that it's easier and more accurate to communicate with them. Let's see what his works have been telling us all along. 1. The Temptation of St. Anthony. All of the objects and figures in Dali's most famous paintings, Temptation of St. Anthony have meanings. Dali often included symbolic meanings in his paintings. This work is typical of Dali examples. In the researches I've done, I saw that St. Anthony is Padova Antonio. The reason for being a subject matter is that at the age of fifteen he encountered the devil and fired him from there by drawing a cross with his hand. At the same time, he was retreated many times in order to escape from all worldly desires, and also migrated to distant places. (I guess the readers who are Catholic will probably recognize him.) In fact, this information brings out the main theme of the picture. It can only be Antonio who is lifting the cross ing the front. The skull standing right next to his right foot represents death. This is why he was protesting against worldly desires. Religion, criticism, and desire object. If there is a horse in art history that's rampant, you know that there is power, mightiness, and courage. The most commonly used method in art language is a lion or a rampant horse. The master painter, aware of this, took the situation a step further and included the senses of lust into his work of seduction. Here the horse is the predator of sexual impulses. The elephant right behind is carrying a golden pedestal on its back and a woman who's calling for sexual desires. This is also the object of desire. It is no coincidence that most of the today's advertisements for males are played by women. An object of desire appealing to man's direct impulses awaits Antony with all her charm. that follow are like a temple. He's probably criticizing religion here. The naked bodies in religious structures are a criticism against corruption. Here, religions' desperation might be expressed against impulses. Because they are carried by pretty fragile legs. 2. The Persistence of Memory. The meaning behind Surrealist Salvador Dali's artistic masterpiece The Persistence of Memory (1931) is not easy to grasp. In the painting, four clocks are prominently on display in an otherwise empty desert scene. While this might seem uncanny enough, the clocks are not flat as you might expect them to be, but are bent out of shape, appearing to be in the act of melting away. In classic surrealist manner, this weird and unexpected juxtaposition poses a lot of questions right up front. First off, why are these clocks melting? Why are the clocks out in the desert? Where are all the people? Since the subject matter and content of the Salvador Dali's clocks painting seems illogical or irrational, one might be surprised by the very representational and nearly photographic quality of the painting, fitting well with Dali's own description of his art as being "hand-painted dream photographs." The concept of the "dream" is integral in understanding Surrealism and plays a key role in the meaning of The Persistence of Memory , as well. 3. . According to classical mythology, Leda was seduced by Zeus in the form of a swan, and, on the same night, made love to her husband, . Leda consequently bore two sets of twins: Helen (to become ) and , and the Dioscuri-. Helen and Pollux - being the children of Zeus - were immortal, while the children of Tyndareus - Castor and Clytemnestra - were mortal. Dali identified with Leda's offspring, suggesting that he and Gala were twin souls - an especially appropriate analogy given Gala's Christian name, Helena Dimitrievna Diakonova. It is not as Helen, however, but as Leda herself that Gala appears in Leda Atomica - perhaps suggesting her role as a substitute for the artist's dead mother. Her left-hand with conspicuous wedding band sweetly caresses the head of the Zeus-swan - the lone element in the painting that fails to cast a shadow, thereby indicating its ethereality. While Dali's 1961 Leda and the Swan , described by the artist as 'spermatic,' exaggerates the Leda myth's carnality, as captured by such artists as Michelangelo, and Peter Paul Rubens, Leda Atomica eschews concupiscence in favor of a more Apollonian subject, akin to 1508 painting, Leda and the Swanby Leonardo da Vinci. After the atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima, Dali took his work in a new direction based on the principle that the modern age had to be assimilated into art if art was to be truly contemporary. Dali acknowledged the discontinuity of matter, incorporating a mysterious sense of levitation into his Leda Atomica. Just as one finds that at the atomic level particles do not physically touch, so here Dali suspends even the water above the shore - an element that would figure into many other later works. Every object in the painting is carefully painted to be motionless in space, even though nothing in the painting is connected. Leda looks as if she is trying to touch the back of the swan's head, but doesn't do it. 4. Figure at a Window. Dali's younger sister Ana Maria was a willing and favorite sitter in the 1920s, especially in the months leading up to his first solo exhibition, at the Galeries Dalmau in . It is thus not surprising that his paintings of her reflect his experiments with various figurative styles. Dali paid special homage to Ingres in the catalog for the exhibition and the drawing of his father and sister is a superb essay in academic draftsmanship. At the same time, in the contrast between the delicately modeled faces and the simple linearity of the bodies he is looking towards Picasso's post-cubist return to the figure. In several of his paintings, he explores a simplified representational technique, with smooth slightly geometrical rounded forms and flattened planes, as in Girl resting on her elbow - Ana Maria Dali, the artist's sister (Thought). Indeed in most of his figure paintings at this time, despite the obvious contrast with the Cubist and Purist works, there is an interest in surface pattern and abstract rhythm which derives from his avant-garde experiments. He is also exploring a wide range of earlier and contemporary figurative painting, including the Italian Novecento artists. 5. Young Virgin Auto-Sodomized By Her Own Chastity. The history of Young Virgin Auto-Sodomized by Her Own Chastity , 1954, is closely connected to Dali's sister. In his scatological period - which to Dali's delight scandalized the surrealists - he had painted a picture of his sister, a rear view which emphasized the girl's behind. The painting documents Dali's interest in exaggerating the representation of the female form and the possibilities of an abstracted background. The main force within the painting is clearly its sexual allusion: the horned shapes hovering around the woman are overtly phallic, and the painting's title offers a direct clue about the aggressively sexual tone of the work. Dali's preoccupation with the phallus was a central theme throughout his career, though the degrees to which his works were representational or abstract differed period to period. 6. Portrait of Picasso. The surrealist portrait painting of Pablo Picasso by Salvador Dali is infused with symbolic messages and meanings as Dali’s most famous works are. Basically, instead of a direct face, it is a portrait of Picasso’s bust sculpture. The base of the bust is made out of the regular white stone out of which most bust-sculptures are made of. But, the upper part is covered with skin. There is a white flower in the distorted chest of the bust, while a red one, is laying at the feet of the bust. The head is much more distorted than the chest with empty eye sockets, horned nose, open mouth with drooling tongue. The depicted brain resembles a goat’s round horns. It is covered from top to back of the head with unnaturally thick white hair which seems to be made out of the same material as the white base of the bust. A thick thread of hair is prolonged from the back end of the hairs which comes out through the mouth and turns into a prolonged spoon in front of the distorted face. The spoon holds a little Lute at the end. Lutes are the symbol of love or sexual motifs. That symbolism is backboned with the drooling tongue. Over the head lingers a yellow rock. The background is made out of two shades of brown with dark brown at the corners while the brown with yellowish tint covers the bust itself.
