The Salvador Dalí Museum

.
Spanish artist Salavador Dali (1904-1989) is one of the most important artists of the Surrealist school and the most famous artist of the twentieth century. His technically brilliant and meticulously detailed depicted dreamlike and hallucinatory scenes with the force or concrete reality. Psychological and emotional states, the creative force, sexuality, and religious themes are among the primary concerns. In addition to paintings, Dali also produced, ceramics, sculptures, and jewelry.

Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea Which at Twenty Meters Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln.

The woman is his beloved Gala, of course. Her pose here is one Dali favored, facing away, looking at a harbor from a window. Like Lincoln, Gala represented an ideal to Dali. In truth, she was often greedy, vain and overbearing. But to him, she was the perfect muse, providing strength and inspiration, always in the end mysterious and unknowable. She also appears at the lower left as a shadowy, dreamlike figure. At the time of the painting, she was well into her 70s, but she remains, in his eyes, a young, lissome woman.


The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus is the name of a painting by artist Salvador Dalí, begun in 1958 and finished in 1959. It is over 14 feet tall and over 9 feet wide (410 x 284 cm; 161.4 x 111.8 in), one in a series of large paintings Dalí did during this era.
