Considered one of the most important painters of the 20th century, the Spanish artist Salvador Dali transcends geographical boundaries with his works. In fact, one of the largest collections of his works in the world, in the south of the United States - in Florida.
The Salvador Dali Museum has 96 oil paintings, more than a hundred watercolors and drawings and 1300 graphics, photographs, sculptures and other works of art.
The painting in the collection ‘Galacidadalacidesoxiribunukleikacid’, has the longest title in one word of all Dali’s paintings. He was very proud of that.
"Portrait of my dead brother", because it is a significant work for understanding Dalí's art. Dalí's mother once said that he was the reincarnation of his older brother and namesake Salvador, who died at the age of seven - three years before Dalí's birth.
This is a glorious work. It speaks of a very important and significant dimension of Dali's life, that is, that he really had a brother.
A picture of Abraham Lincoln, with a rather long title. It reads: ‘Galya thinks about how the Witch of the Mediterranean Sea becomes a portrait of Abraham Lincoln at twenty meters’.He says that Dali saw that picture in a scientific magazine. It's actually a portrait of Lincoln from a $ 5 bill. The picture was put into a computer and grained, and Dali painted it again, turning those grains into squares.
Born on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Spain, Salvador Dali loved his picturesque hometown and often painted it. In fact, as he traveled extensively throughout Europe and America, Dali eventually died where he was born.He was considered an eccentric all his life. He wore long hair, 19th century clothes and an unusual mustache. He was outspoken, making strange statements such as that none of his professors were competent enough to grade him, which led to his expulsion from the School of Fine Arts in San Fernando in 1926.
Dali was basically very reactionary. He spent his whole life trying to do the exact opposite of what was expected. The result was - a multitude of enemies.He went to Paris in 1926 and soon became the leader of the Surrealist movement. In the same year, he met the muse and love of his life, Gala, who was his model and inspired him for many years.
This unusually interesting bench is located in the garden of the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, the fifth most populous city in Florida.
The whole museum complex exudes peace and is the right place for relaxation. When the building was built, it was clear that it must have a beautiful garden that will surround it.
In front of the main facade of the museum there is a cave with a living wall made of plants and water, so it is called "Source of Youth". Behind the building is a park with clocks melting on benches, a labyrinth and a huge statue of Salvador Dali's big mustache.
Salvador Dali Museum, which covers 6,500 square meters. The largest collection of his works in the world is located in this area.Of course, an artist like Salvador Dali deserves a museum that represents his essence and preserves his works in the right way.
The design house HOK was in charge of the project, and the result is an imposing white and blue building. The unfinished concrete cube, which protects valuable works, is surrounded by two large glass atriums that give the building dynamism and the necessary light in the interior.
The Salvador Dali Museum has quickly become a landmark in the city, and if you want to visit it, save $ 21 for a ticket.
