Born in Spain, Salvador Dali studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. With passion and intensity, he devoted himself to developing his method, which he described as "paranoiac-critical", a "spontaneous method of irrational knowledge based on the critical and systematic objectivation of delirious associations and interpretations". Within these works, he has created an extraordinary universe where the erotic and the scatological jostle with a fascination for decay. ~ Born: May 11, 1904 - Died: Jan 23, 1989.
His works include: Clock Explosion, Meditative Rose, Hallucinogenic Toreador, Metamorphosis of Narcissus, Swans Reflecting Elephants, Persistence of Memory, Apparition of Face and Fruit Dish, Figure At a Window, Person At a Window, Sleep, Bacchanale, Giraffe on Fire, Annunciation, Volto Di Mae West, Spring Flowering From A Piano, Atavistic Vestiges and much more. |
