Hellena Mens Wedding
There are many great paintings in the world, but few are easily recognized by everyone from the art aficionados to the layman on the street. Salvador Dali's "Persistence of Memory" is just one of those paintings. Three clocks melting onto a tree, an edge of a cliff like structure, and a horse-like creature burns itself into the psyche. In fact, most people do not know the real name of the painting, and just call it the "melting clock picture". This painting with it's odd lines, strange items, and nontraditional subjects is a signature of the surrealist group of painters which Salvador Dali was part of. Dali was born Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali on May 11, 1904 in the Spanish town of Figueres. His father was a notable man in the government, and they were allowed the ability to summer on the coast of Spain. Dali spent most of his life in Spain and married a woman who he affectionately called Gala, but her given name was Helena Ivanovna Diakonova.
Dali was educated at the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. He first gained notriety at a show in Barcelona at the age of 21. Shortly after Madrid, he was introduced to the surrealists movement, which was created out of the Dada school. Together with the primary Dada convert and the top surrealist of the time, Edward Eluard, and the new view of psychology by Sigmund Freud, Dali's work took a radical turn from concrete to that of the surrealist. The surrealist movement believed that the world of Art lived in the imagination. Therefore, there were no physical rules in the realm of the canvas, and through this medium Dali flourished. Dali wasn't one to stick with one idea, he quickly incorporated other styles such as cubist and works of Picasso. Always a fan of discovery and science, he incorporated both into his paintings, especially into what has been called his classical period. This is a period of surrealist ideas, mixed with stories of the new science of DNA and discovery of the American coast. Dali died from heart failure on January 23, 1989 in the town of his birth.
Dali's originals are housed in two specific museums. St. Petersburg, Florida Dali museum based on the collection of Dali's benefactors A. Reynolds and Eleanore Morse and Dali's own museum the Theatre-Museu Gala-Salvador Dalí in Madrid, Spain. "The Persistence of Memory" is housed in the Metropolitain Museum of Art in New York City. However, it does make frequent stops in Florida and Madrid. From the first pencil sketch, to the last drop of paint on his last canvas, Dali reinvented what we see as art and painting.
