Erotic and tragic love of Salvador Dali

"An erotic, and tragic love, due to the fact of not being able to share."

Salvador Dali

The relationship began as a simple friendship, and over time it grew closer and closer. in the beginning, Salvador Dalí sought to be at the intellectual height of the renowned young García Lorca; During his student days, the intimate complicity they had began to spread rumors among their classmates. This kind of "erotic friendship" was manifested in the attractive looks that the Andalusian poet directed Dalí, while he also admired him. Their relationship was a kind of back and forth: they attracted each other and moved away; it seemed that life was not ready for an in the union of colossal proportions to exist.

There were seasons when they spent it together, but when geographic distance won, letters were their only means of contact. In 1925, both visited the town of Cadaqués - Dalí's family place - after a year of not seeing each other, and they were able to strengthen their love and their bodies through a different connection since they never consummated the sexual act. After this, they influenced each other in their artistic works, and García Lorca wrote 'Ode to Salvador Dalí', a manifesto of love and friendship.
