THE SURREALISM

Surrealism emerges as an artistic movement after the book published by André Breton, "Surrealist Manifesto", in Paris, in 1924.

Being knowledgeable of Freud, Breton thought about the possibility offered by psychoanalysis as a method of artistic creation.

For the surrealists the work is born of pure automatism, that is, any form of expression in which the mind does not exercise any kind of control.

  The painters of surrealism They try to represent by means of abstract or figurative symbolic forms the images of the subconscious and the world of dreams.

Influences

PRESENTATION

DALÍ

Salvador Dalí was born in Figueras in 1904. His real name is Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, he was a Spanish painter, sculptor, engraver, scenographer and writer of the 20th century. He is considered one of the greatest representatives of Surrealism.

Dalí's older brother, also called Salvador, had died about nine months before he was born. This marked the artist much later, who came to have a personality crisis, believing that he was the copy of his dead brother.

His father, Salvador Dalí, was a lawyer and notary, of a strict character softened by his wife Felipa Domènech, who encouraged the artistic interests of the young Salvador.

Dalí also had a sister, Anna Maria Dalí, four years younger than him.

Childhood of Dali

At the end of 1919 the monthly magazine Studium was published among several friends.

In 1916 his father sent him to study with Juan Nuñéz

1904

Childhood of Dali

In February 1921 his mother died as a result of cancer of the uterus. Dalí was 16 years old

At the beginning of 1919 he exhibited his paintings at FIgueras and in Barcelona

Youth in Madrid and París

In 1922 Dalí stayed at the Student Residence in Madrid to begin his studies in Bellas Artes, Dalí immediately attracted attention because of his eccentric nature, however, it was his paintings that caught the attention of his fellow students.

In 1924 Dalí began to be influenced by Dadaism, influence that marked him the rest of his life. At the residence he also had a passionate relationship with the young Lorca, but Dalí ended up rejecting him,

Dalí was expelled from the Academy in 1926, shortly before his final examinations, for stating that there was no one in this one in a position to examine him.

Youth in Madrid y París

In 1929 Dalí went to París and there works with Luis Buñuel filmed the movie "Un perro andaluz". That same year he met his muse and future wife Gala.

At the end of 1934 Dalí was expelled from the surrealism movement. To this, Dalí responded with his famous reply, "I am surrealism"

Stay in Nueva York

In 1940, with the Second World War devastating Europe, Dalí and Gala fled to the United States, where they lived for eight years.

In 1942 he published his autobiography, "The secret life of Salvador Dalí", about which it is said that he lied a lot, and for which Buñuel broke his friendship with him by having accused him of being a leftist (for which he had been dismissed from his job).

And in 1944 he accepted the decoration of a shop window on a Fifth Avenue shop in New York. He made a controversial composition: on one side a mannequin with a red wig in a bathtub covered with hair; in the other, a figure lying on a bed on whose pillow coals burned. But the owner modified his works without his permission, and Dalí ended up throwing the bathtub against the window glass. He was arrested and had to pay for the damages. The court acquitted him, because he argued that he was only defending his work.

Back to Cataluña

From 1949, Dalí returned to Catalonia even though it was dictatorship, because he was accused of fascism.

The postwar period opened for Dalí a new artistic stage, called "Mystic-cultural Peridódo" characterized by the union of science and religion.

Back to Cataluña

In 1969 Dali design the "chupa chups" logo.

Gala died in 1982. After his death, it is said that Dalí tried to commit suicide several times.

On January 23, 1989, listening to his favorite record, aged 83, Dalí died. He was buried in the crypt of Figueres, located in his house-museum, according to his supposed last wish heard by the then mayor of Figueras; And not with Gala in his castle Púbol, as he had previously asked

We are facing one of the most important works of the Spanish painter Salvador Dalí. This surrealist work describes, literally, the temptations in which man usually falls.

In the lower left corner, San Antonio is located, naked, with his hair disheveled, resting on a stone and holding a cross, trying to protect himself from temptation. These are:

ANALYSIS

Temptations

Triumph: represented with the horse, its hooves are worn and full of dust.

Sex: represented by the woman on the first elephant.

Avarice: represented by the two elephants on which there is a pyramid and a house of gold and inside the latter, the trunk of a woman awaits.

Further back, another elephant carries a tall monolith on its back. Behind this, and above the clouds, there is a castle. This refers to lost, unfulfilled or forgotten dreams.

On the other hand, as a curiosity, the gray clouds of the painting show the changing characteristics, that is, the setbacks that must be crossed to achieve spirituality.
