First one consists of the artist immersing himself in his own thoughts and living of his paranoia. The elaboration of the works is divided into two phases. Studying and using the ideas of Sigmund Freud on the concepts of dream and madness, Dalì produced obsessive images in which the reality that seems to be described in detail turns with complex optical illusions into something completely different and intriguing. However, he experimented with all the painting techniques before arriving at a sort of imaginary realism based on the method he defined as paranoid – critical. Thanks to his eccentric and non-conformist personality and his works similar to imaginary dreams Dalì is certainly remembered in the history of art as the most famous artist of Surrealism. Today’s post is therefore dedicated to Salvador Dalì and his work The persistence of memory, the result of a Camembert cheese dinner. A story that could turn out to be insignificant if it were not then accompanied by an explanation of what during that dinner Dalì ate and how this had surreal effects on his work. In his autobiography, Salvador Dalì, father of surrealism, tells how one evening he was working before dinner at a landscape work with rocky mountains in the distance immersed in the light of the sunset and an olive tree with cut branches. Dalì The persistence of memory is preserved today at the MOMA in New York.
