In 1922, the young Dali came to Madrid to study at the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts. It was here that Dali's paintings made him famous. He explored Cubism in his paintings and attracted the attention of people who would become prominent figures in the Spanish art world, such as Federico Galicia Lorca and Pepin Bayo Bu?uel.

Around 1940, Dali formed a new style - this period was his "classic" period - showing his concentration on science and religion. During World War II, Dali and Gala fled Europe and spent eight years living in the United States from 1940 to 1948.

In 1941, the Museum of Modern Art in New York held his first large-scale retrospective exhibition for Dali; in the same year, Dali submitted a film script to Jean Cabin, titled " "Moon Tide".

In 1974, Dali established the Teatro exhibition hall in Figueres, Spain, and later held retrospective exhibitions of his works in Paris and London before the end of the 1970s. Since the death of Dali's wife Gala in 1982, Dali's health has been deteriorating.

Character influence

Salvador Dali admitted that he exhibited a "personal dream and hallucination revealed by Freud" . In order to search for this kind of surreal hallucination, they, like Dr. Freud, explored the consciousness of mentally ill patients, believing that their words and actions are often a sincere reflection of the subconscious world, which cannot be seen in daily life. .

For Surrealist painters, these are some of the most precious materials. Therefore, many of Dali's works always combine the description of specific details with arbitrary exaggeration, deformation, omission and symbolism to create a "surreal realm" between reality and imagination, concrete and abstract. ".

Reading his paintings, people not only understand all the details, but as a whole, they feel absurd, terrifying, contrary to logic, weird and mysterious. This kind of "subconscious" scenery is actually subjectively "conceived" by the painter. It is not a subconscious or subconscious emotional expression at all.
