Timeless Dali

Geniality is rare, and in most cases it is linked to early death, total unhappiness, social inadequacy, solitude and amazing discoveries and creations that change the world permanently...Dali isn't like most cases; Salvador Dali is a genius of contradictions, a self-declared deity of art, an amazing painter, a creator, a nonconformist, a mad man...he is immortal. Conscious of his geniality, he has always so immodestly stated his privileged nature as a well-deserved title, as the most natural thing in his unnatural way of being. Only after experiencing the sheer pleasure of being face to face with his paintings, even if they were in an art book, I can say without a doubt in my mind, that he is the most alluringly-complicated artist I have ever encountered. He is obsessed with time, degradation and the tangled human mind, which is actually his tangled mind...through every painting we see a different anguish of his, a different needle deeply trusted into his brain that he's trying to set free by painting and painting and sometimes writing and other times travelling and exposing himself and other times by emotionally torturing Gala. For a glimpse of a beautifully-intriguingly-wicked mind see (if you can) and understand (if you dare) Un chien andalou.
