Federico Castellon Figurative Prints
American, 1914-1971
Federico Castellón (1914-1971) was a Spanish-American artist known for his distinctive style that blended surrealism and realism. Born on the island of Almeria, Spain, he moved to the United States with his family at the age of seven. His artistic talent was evident from a young age, and he received a scholarship to study at the New York School of Fine and Applied Art when he was just 15.
Castellón's work is characterized by a dreamlike quality, often incorporating elements of fantasy and a strong narrative sense. His early exposure to both Spanish and American cultures profoundly influenced his artistic vision, blending European surrealism with American realism to create a unique visual language.
He was particularly renowned for his lithographs, etchings, and illustrations. His illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" and other literary works are highly regarded for their intricate detail and haunting imagery.
In addition to his printmaking and illustration work, Castellón was also a skilled painter and muralist. His paintings often featured surreal, dream-like scenes with a focus on human figures, and his murals are noted for their dynamic composition and rich symbolism.
Throughout his career, Castellón received numerous awards and honors, and his work was exhibited widely in the United States and Europe. His legacy continues to influence artists and is recognized in the art world for its unique blend of surrealism and realism, along with a profound narrative quality that speaks to the human condition.to

Salvador Dali
Salvador Dali was born as the son of a prestigious notary in the small town of Figueras in Northern Spain. His talent as an artist showed at an early age and Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali received his first drawing lessons when he was ten years old. His art teachers were a then well known Spanish impressionist painter, Ramon Pichot and later an art professor at the Municipal Drawing School. In 1923 his father bought his son his first printing press.
Dali began to study art at the Royal Academy of Art in Madrid. He was expelled twice and never took the final examinations. His opinion was that he was more qualified than those who should have examined him.
In 1928 Dali went to Paris where he met the Spanish painters Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. He established himself as the principal figure of a group of surrealist artists grouped around Andre Breton, who was something like the theoretical "schoolmaster" of surrealism. Years later Breton turned away from Dali accusing him of support of fascism, excessive self-presentation and financial greediness.
By 1929 Dali had found his personal style that should make him famous the world of the unconscious that is recalled during our dreams. The surrealist theory is based on the theories of the psychologist Dr. Sigmund Freud. Recurring images of burning giraffes and melting watches...
