______________________________________________________
Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech was a Spanish painter, sculptor, engraver, set designer and writer of the 20th century. An artist associated with surrealism, he is one of the most important figures in 20th century art, representing the archetype of the spectacular contemporary multifaceted artist.
He develops his creative activity in various fields through the most diverse cultural formulas: painting, written media, performing arts, cinema, or public appearances in the press, radio, cinema, advertising, television, etc.
Master of the most refined pictorial technique, especially drawing, along with various aesthetic languages - from impressionism, cubism, purism or late ultraism with Dadaist edges to the most radical surrealism, hyperrealism, pop-art or art optical—, will absorb every influence that is useful to build its own and personal language, halfway between technical tradition and thematic avant-garde.
His paranoid-critical method is his main contribution to the surrealist movement and to the history of art as a new creative model with which Dalí's theories acquire theoretical entity - thanks to the successive interpretations that the Empordà artist made of his readings of Dalí's work. Sigmund Freud—and practice, applying it as a revealing liquid of images that can be represented plastically through multiple images, anamorphisms, relational mirages, irrational and heterogeneous symbolic images, pseudohallucinations, childhood memories, atavisms, obsessive ideas, etc., and recreating a polyphonic method capable of critically relating any visual or sensitive experience. With his method, Dalí makes paranoid delirium a whole mode of expression of an art that introduces us to the concrete irrationality that inhabits every creative process, constructing not only his works, but also his own character. as an artist.
In Dalí, the relationship between his work and his personal history becomes evident. Much of the most significant biographical facts for the artist are implicitly or explicitly present in the content of his work and are the explanation of his complex and contradictory personality.
In 1910, at the age of 6, he was enrolled by his father in the Hispano-French school of the Immaculate Conception of Figueres, where he learned French, his future language of culture.
Dalí's first contact with Impressionism occurred in 1916, when he spent some time on the outskirts of Figueres, specifically at the Molí de la Torre estate, property of the Pichot family (intellectuals and artists), where he was the collection of the painter Ramón Pichot.
In 1919 he participated for the first time in a group exhibition in the halls of the Societat de Concerts, and with a group of friends from the institute founded the magazine Studium, in which he published his first writings. A year later he moved to Madrid to study at the School of Fine Arts.
In 1922 he won his first prize at the Concurs-exposició d'obres d'art originals d'students, held at the Galeries Dalmau (Barcelona). This same year he attended the School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving in Madrid (Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando), and lived in the Student Residence, where he became friends with prominent personalities such as Luis Buñuel, Federico García Lorca, Pedro Garfias , Eugenio Montes, or Pepín Bello.
However, a year later he was expelled from the Academy for his rebellious and revolutionary character, accused of leading a protest. It would be in 1927 when his surrealist period began, after having traveled to the Netherlands and France, meeting Flemish painters and Picasso. In Paris itself, in 1929, through Joan Miró, he came into contact with a group of surrealists headed...

Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech was a Spanish painter, sculptor, engraver, set designer and writer of the 20th century. An artist associated with surrealism, he is one of the most important figures in 20th century art, representing the archetype of the spectacular contemporary multifaceted artist.
He develops his creative activity in various fields through the most diverse cultural formulas: painting, written media, performing arts, cinema, or public appearances in the press, radio, cinema, advertising, television, etc.
Master of the most refined pictorial technique, especially drawing, along with various aesthetic languages - from impressionism, cubism, purism or late ultraism with Dadaist edges to the most radical surrealism, hyperrealism, pop-art or art optical—, will absorb every influence that is useful to build its own and personal language, halfway between technical tradition and thematic avant-garde.
His paranoid-critical method is his main contribution to the surrealist movement and to the history of art as a new creative model with which Dalí's theories acquire theoretical entity - thanks to the successive interpretations that the Empordà artist made of his readings of Dalí's work. Sigmund Freud—and practice, applying it as a revealing liquid of images that can be represented plastically through multiple images, anamorphisms, relational mirages, irrational and heterogeneous symbolic images, pseudohallucinations, childhood memories, atavisms, obsessive ideas, etc., and recreating a polyphonic method capable of critically relating any visual or sensitive experience.

In 1919 he participated for the first time in a group exhibition in the halls of the Societat de Concerts, and with a group of friends from the institute founded the magazine Studium, in which he published his first writings. A year later he moved to Madrid to study at the School of Fine Arts.
In 1922 he won his first prize at the Concurs-exposició d'obres d'art originals d'students, held at the Galeries Dalmau (Barcelona). This same year he attended the School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving in Madrid (Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando), and lived in the Student Residence, where he became friends with prominent personalities such as Luis Buñuel, Federico García Lorca, Pedro Garfias , Eugenio Montes, or Pepín Bello.
However, a year later he was expelled from the Academy for his rebellious and revolutionary character, accused of leading a protest. It would be in 1927 when his surrealist period began, after having traveled to the Netherlands and France, meeting Flemish painters and Picasso.

Visual art is among the oldest forms of expression, and it has been evolving for centuries. Beautiful objects can provide a window to the past or insight into our current time. Art collecting enhances daily life through the presence of meaningful work. It displays an appreciation for culture, whether a print by Elizabeth Catlett channeling social change or a narrative quilt by Faith Ringgold.
Contemporary art has lured more initiates to collecting than almost any other category, with notable artists including Yayoi Kusama, Marc Chagall, Kehinde Wiley and Jean-Michel Basquiat. Navigating the waiting lists for the next Marlene Dumas, Jeff Koons or Jasper Johns has become competitive.
When you’re living with art, particularly as people more often work from home and enjoy their spaces, it’s important to choose art that resonates with you. While the richness of art with its many movements, styles and histories can be overwhelming, the key is to identify what is appealing and inspiring. Artwork can play with the surrounding color of a room, creating a layered approach. The dynamic shapes and sizes of sculptures can set different moods, such as a bronze by Miguel Guía on a mantel or an Alexander Calder mobile suspended over a table. A wall of art can evoke emotions in an interior while showing off your tastes and interests. A salon-style wall mixing eclectic pieces like landscape paintings with charcoal drawings is a unique way to transform a space and show off a collection.
For art meditating on the subconscious, investigate Surrealists like Joan Miró and Salvador Dalí. Explore Pop art and its leading artists such as Andy Warhol, Rosalyn Drexler and Keith Haring for bright and bold colors. Not only did these artists question art itself, but also how we perceive society. Similarly, 20th-century photography and abstract painting reconsidered the intent of art.
Abstract Expressionists like Helen Frankenthaler and Lee Krasner and Color Field artists including Sam Gilliam broke from conventional ideas of painting, while Op artists such as Yaacov Agam embraced visual trickery and kinetic movement. Novel visuals are also integral to contemporary work influenced by street art, such as sculptures and prints by KAWS.
Realist portraiture is a global tradition reflecting on what makes us human. This is reflected in the work of Slim Aarons, an American photographer whose images are at once candid and polished and appeared in Holiday magazine and elsewhere. Innovative artists Mickalene Thomas and Kerry James Marshall are now offering new perspectives on the form.
Collecting art is a rewarding, lifelong pursuit that can help connect you with the creative ways historic, modern and contemporary artists have engaged with the world. For more tips on piecing together an art collection, see our guide to buying and displaying art.
