  • Dalí's Religious Models: the Iconography of Martyrdom and Its Contemplation
    Dalí's Religious Models: the Iconography of Martyrdom and its Contemplation © Miguel Escribano 2012 A thesis submitted for the degree of PhD Department of Art History and Theory University of Essex February 2012 ii Summary This thesis investigates Dalí’s adoption of religious iconography to help represent themes that he had conceptualised through Surrealism, psychoanalysis and other thought systems. His selective use of sources was closely bound to his life circumstances, and I integrate biographical details in my analysis of his paintings. I identify unexpected sources of Dalí's images, and demonstrate how alert he was to the psychological motivations of traditional art. I find he made especial use of the iconography of martyrdom – and the perceptual and cognitive mechanics of the contemplation of death – that foreground the problem of the sexual and mortal self. Part I examines the period 1925-7, when Dalí developed an aesthetic outlook in dialogue with Lorca, formulated in his text, 'Sant Sebastià'. Representations of Sebastian and other martyr saints provided patterns for Dalí's exposition of the generative and degenerating self. In three chapters, based on three paintings, I plot the shift in Dalí's focus from the surface of the physical body – wilfully resistant to emotional engagement, and with classical statuary as a model – to its problematic interior, vulnerable to forces of desire and corruption. This section shows how Dalí's engagement with religious art paradoxically brought him into alignment with Surrealism. In Part II, I contend that many of the familiar images of Dalí’s Surrealist period – in which he considered the self as a fundamentally psychic rather than physical entity – can be traced to the iconography of contemplative saints, particularly Jerome.

  • Salvador Dalí's References from Catalonia and the Empordà
    CATALAN HISTORICAL REVIEW, 11: 73-87 (2018) Institut d’Estudis Catalans, Barcelona DOI: 10.2436/20.1000.01.147 · ISSN: 2013-407X http://revistes.iec.cat/chr/ Salvador Dalí’s references from Catalonia and the Empordà Mariona Seguranyes* Art historian and PhD in Humanities Received 24 April 2017 · Accepted 6 July 2017 Abstract Salvador Dalí was born in Figueres, an open-minded city with republican ideals at a time when the myth of the Empordà as the heart of Catalonia, as the poet Joan Maragall described this place, was being forged. The friends of his father, the notary Salvador Dalí Cusí, commissioned his first works, which bore the symbols of the Empordà, such as sardanes (the traditional circle dance). Figueres is also where the revolutionary Dalí emerged, a close friend of Martí Vilanova and Jaume Miravitlles. And the landscape of the Empordà, with its clear blue sky, is the driver behind his creative works. Referents to Catalonia and the Empordà appear throughout his entire career and become the essence of his oeuvre; today, many of them have become universally recognised thanks to this genius from the Empordà. In this paper, we shall reveal these referents. Keywords: Salvador Dalí, Empordà, Figueres, Cadaqués, Josep Puig Pujades, Joan Subias, Jaume Miravitlles, Francesc Pujols The earliest Salvador Dalí i Domènech (Figueres, 1904- ments emerged as the first creative symbols in the earliest 1989) is the product of Figueres in the early 20th century, alphabet of the young Salvador Dalí.
