Description
Attributed to Salvador DalÃ, no coa, private collection, medium: watercolor measurements: 20"WX24"H framed, mint condition Biography: Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalà i Domènech, Marquess of Dalà of Púbol gcYC, known as Salvador DalÃ, was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, precise draftsmanship, and the striking and bizarre images in his work.Major themes in his work include dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. To the dismay of those who held his work in high regard, and to the irritation of his critics, his eccentric and ostentatious public behavior often drew more attention than his artwork. His public support for the Francoist regime, his commercial activities and the quality and authenticity of some of his late works have also been controversial.In 1922, Dalà moved into the Residencia de Estudiantes (Students' Residence) in Madrid and studied at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando (San Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts). A lean 1.72 metres (5 ft 7+3/4 in) tall,[28] Dalà already drew attention as an eccentric and dandy. He had long hair and sideburns, coat, stockings, and knee-breeches in the style of English aesthetes of the late 19th century.At the Residencia, he became close friends with PepÃn Bello, Luis Buñuel, Federico GarcÃa Lorca, and others associated with the Madrid avant-garde group Ultra. The friendship with Lorca had a strong element of mutual passion, but Dalà said he rejected the poet's sexual advances. DalÃ's friendship with Lorca was to remain one of his most emotionally intense relationships until the poet's death at the hands of Nationalist forces in 1936 at the beginning of the Spanish Civil War.
