Loving Dalí.

My favourite famous painters are Frida Kalho, Vincent Van Gogh and Salvador Dalí... but today I will choose to tell you about Salvador Dalí because he had a very close relationship with the audiovisual world.  

"Lugubrious game", Dalí 1929.

He was born on May 11th of 1904, Catalonia. He had a brother who died nine months before him and his name also was Salvador, so he had a personality crisis where he thought he was his dead brother. In the year 1916, Salvador Dalí discovered the contemporary painting when with his family traveled to Cadaques and meet to Ramon Pichot who advised him to continue with paint and draw. Then in 1922 he entered to Student's Residence in Madrid and studied at the School of Fine Arts of San Fernando (here he know to Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Buñuel) until 1926 he was expelled from the academy because he said nobody had the capacity to exam him. 

In 1929 he joined to surrealist movement and collaborate with Luis Buñuel in one of the first surrealistic films: A chien Andalou. 

Surrealism is a literary and paint movement based on Dadaism (nihilist destruction) and the psychological theories. This style tries to express how the mind works. So the interpretation is very difficult and used to use the Freud and Jung theories, although they are not enough after all.  

Dalí paintings talk about what how much mind is uncontrollable and out of order; then sometimes his paints had cropofilic messages. So, I love Dalí paintings because his freedom and his indecipherable messages.
