"Apart from Picasso, salvador dali is probably the most famous painter in the 20th century." This is the preface of Dawn Aitz (England) in Dali. Indeed, in the surrealist school of painting, Dali (1904~ 1989) is more famous than other painters, or it can be said that he is "notorious"-not only because of his shocking imaginative pictures, but also because of his bizarre image and behavior. We have to admit that he is a genius, whether from the angle of art or self-promotion. He solemnly declared that the difference between himself and a madman is that he is not crazy. He took care of his moustache carefully, making it a unique scenery for himself. He "dreams" on the canvas, expressing irrational themes such as sex, war and death. He wrote "The Secret Life of salvador dali" and carried out various activities with great fanfare ... In short, the words and deeds of the Spaniard, together with his art, became a special surrealist landscape.

Dali/KLOC-0 was born in Catalonia on May 1904. He studied at san fernando College in Madrid, but was expelled from the school twice in 1923 and 1926 respectively. He once studied academic methods and tried to explore cubism and futurism. 1927 completed the first surrealist oil painting "Honey is sweeter than blood", 1929 formally joined the surrealist camp in the summer. Dali is a born surrealist, and his paintings are a strange mixture of meticulous realism and absurdity. He claimed, "My whole ambition in painting is to materialize concrete irrational images with irrefutable maximum accuracy." In order to achieve this goal, he designed a new creative method, the so-called "paranoid critical activity", to induce hallucination images from the subconscious. From a local point of view, every detail of his paintings is true and delicate, but on the whole, there is no visual logic at all, which will only bring people a sense of nightmare. Excessive perspective and photographic clarity further strengthen this dreaminess. These works are called "hand-made dream photos" by Dali. Dali was deeply influenced by Freud's psychoanalytic theory, especially sexual psychology. In his paintings, he often uses symbolism to illustrate Freud's views. For example, deformations such as bottles and women's heads come from Freud's views on container symbols and lesbianism. Freud once observed Dali's eyes through psychoanalysis. He said: "The eyes of these Spaniards are sincere and fanatical."

The Eternity of Memory was written in 193 1, which was inspired by Freud and showed a disordered dream world. We saw clear objects scattered in disorder on the screen. A clock as soft as a wet cake is especially memorable. The infinite and far-reaching background gives people an illusory sense of coldness and loss. Dali's paintings are often broken, fully showing the unconscious dream scene. But in fact, these seemingly accidental illusion images must have gone through considerable efforts of the painter; The seemingly unconscious picture must be the result of conscious planning, even the result of bleak management. The eternity of memory is no exception. Freud once said to Dali, "What interests me in your art? Not unconscious but conscious. "

From 65438 to 0927, Dali met Gala, the wife of the surrealist poet Ai Lvya. Although Gallas is older than Dali 10 years old, they still love each other and get together soon. Since then, Gallas has become Dali's companion and patron saint, as well as his role model and artistic inspiration. The Dream Caused by Bees Dancing depicts a dream of william gallas, an absurd dream caused by bee stings. In the picture, Gallas, naked, lies on a reef to rest, while the reef floats on the sea. Next to Galla, a red pomegranate floats on the edge of the reef, and a little bee is "working" around it wholeheartedly. On the top left of Gallas, the pomegranate opened its mouth and a big fish appeared in the crack. Two colorful tigers jumped out of exaggerated fish mouths and pounced on Gallas' soft body. In front of the tiger, a gun was pointed at Gallas, and the sharp bayonet was on Gallas' arm, which stung. In the distance, an elephant is walking on the sea. Its spire is square and its four legs are extremely elongated like bamboo poles. We saw such an elephant again in his 1946 The Temptation of San Antonio. The dream caused by a bee flying around the pomegranate appeared before our eyes. Its color is clear and bright, and its image is vivid, but there is no logic at all. "What does all this symbolize? Y can give it pomegranate, bee, tiger, elephant and sea several or even hundreds of meanings in such a painting; And every explanation has a profound and strong pornographic meaning. "

Dali not only paints, but also works in sculpture, film shooting, writing and design. He collaborated with others to complete the films "The Dog of Andalusia" and "The Golden Age", wrote "The Secret of salvador dali" and "The Diary of a Genius", designed the scenery and costumes for ballet, and designed jewels such as "The Royal Heart", "Eye of Time" and the famous crayfish phone. Every one of his works, without exception, left traces of surreal dreams. After Gallas died on 1982, he donated all his property to the Spanish government and established the Gallas-El salvador dali Foundation. 1989 65438+1On October 23rd, Dali passed away and was buried in the theater museum designed and decorated by himself. Dali, the name used to mean success and absurdity, and it still does today.
