He is a talented and imaginative painter. In the process of transforming the subjective world of dreams into objective and exciting images, he made great contributions to surrealism and art in the 20th century. Dali's life is full of legends. In addition to his paintings, his articles, eloquence, movements, looks and beards have left a confused impression on those who appreciate him.
Dali studied fine arts in Madrid and Barcelona when he was young. He absorbed various artistic styles and showed his extraordinary skills as a painter. However, it was not until the late 1920s that two things made his painting style mature. First, he discovered Freud's important works about subconscious image sex; Secondly, he made friends with a group of brilliant Parisian surrealists, who tried to prove that the human subconscious is a "more important reality" beyond reason.
In order to produce images from the subconscious, Dali began to induce hallucinations in himself by a method called "paranoid critical state". After Dali discovered this method, his painting style quickly matured. His paintings from 1929 to 1937 made him the most famous surrealist artist in the world. In his dream, he juxtaposed, twisted or deformed ordinary objects in a strange and unreasonable way. Dali's detailed description of these objects is almost perfect. They are usually placed in a very desolate but sunny landscape, reminiscent of his hometown Catalonia. Among these enigmatic images, the most famous one is "Eternity of Memory" (193 1). In this painting, a soft, flexible and melting watch sets off a horribly calm landscape.
Dali also co-produced two surreal films with Spanish film director L- bunuel, namely Dogs in Andalusia (1928) and Golden Age (1930), which are also full of grotesque but suggestive images. In the late 1930s, under the influence of Raphael, a Renaissance painter, Dali's painting turned to a more classical style, and he was expelled from surrealism. After that, he spent a lot of time designing stage scenery, interior decoration of fashionable shops and jewelry. During the period of 1950 ~ 1970, he had many paintings with religious themes, but he still explored the theme of sex, described his childhood memories, and made his wife Galla the central image of these themes. Although these late paintings are skillful, their objective evaluation is lower than that of early works. Among Dali's works, the most interesting and revealing is The Secret Life of salvador dali (1942 ~ 1944). Many of his works are full of violence and criticism of traditional social asceticism. His representative works include Eternity of Memory, The Shrew and the Moon, The Omen of Civil War, etc.
Salvador dali is a master of the surrealist school of painting in the 20th century. He is a self-confident genius: "At the age of six, he wants to be a chef, and at the age of seven, he wants to be Napoleon". Since then, his ambition has been increasing day by day. Dali said that "surrealism is me", which is unparalleled in the field of surrealism. He pioneered the "paranoid criticism method" and created a series of famous images such as soft clocks, rotten donkeys and ants ... Dali likes to show the most real objects and scenes; Dali's self-hype, originality and perfection. Dali said, "The only difference between me and a madman is that I am not crazy." He created the image of an era, which often appears in the "soft clock" in his paintings. In Dali's world, time was questioned and dissolved for the first time. ...
