Salvador Dalí (1904)
TOY MUSEUM OF CATALONIA FIGUERES Salvador Dalí (1904) SALVADOR DALÍ THE FIRST TWENTY YEARS A FAMILY ALBUM SALVADOR DALÍ THE FIRST TWENTY YEARS A FAMILY ALBUM No evidence has been found that the Dalí-Domènech family actually kept a family album of portraits. However, a significant number of photographs have been found, clearly indicating that Salvador Dalí Domènech’s family was one that enjoyed having its picture taken frequently. These include both professional portraits taken in studios such as Carreras or Bosch in Figueres and the Fotografía Hispania studio in Barcelona, but also numerous photos taken by family friends, a less common occurrence at the time. Up until a few years ago, there was a small shed and storeroom in the Pitxot family home in Figueres on Muralla Street. This shed was found to be full of boxes of printed glass photographic plates that someone in the family had used. Salvador and his sister, Anna Maria, had their pictures taken in that same garden at different times when they were young. Another family photographer was Joan Xirau, Salvador’s classmate at Ramon Muntaner High School and with whom he and other students founded the magazine, Studium, in 1919. Joan took excellent pictures of both Anna Maria and Salvador in the artist’s first studio found on the terrace of the family home on Plaza de la Palmera. Stemming from our wish to recreate a family photo album of the Dalí-Domènech family during Salvador Dalí’s first twenty years, the Toy Museum of Catalonia in Figueres (MJC/F) has consulted thirteen different archives, some of which are directly related to the family: Eulàlia Bas Dalí’s archive, and those belonging to Emília Pomés (Anna Maria Dalí’s archive), Felip Domènech and Joan Lleonart Bonet Domènech.
