  • Salvador Dalí is an icon in the art world but his genius and technical painting skills weren’t the only things that got him far. His wife and lifelong muse Gala was highly supportive of his work and often contributed her own creative direction.

    Thanks for the video, you have a very clear and professional means of presentation. I'm a fine art framer and get to work with a variety of artists' works, Dali's portfolios are undoubtedly my favorite to frame. I've always been fascinated with his life and dynamic with Gala, so thanks again for making this video for others to learn

    Couple’s reflect off on each other. Look at our parents and coupling friends. Dali and gala were both pretty intense and sexually crazed as well as determined and manipulative. It made sense why they attracted each other. Not to mention their dark sides as well.

      This is so true. We’re all mirrors of each other in a way and to some degree. But romantic relationships tend to REALLY show us deeper parts of ourselves from the other persons reflection. Very interesting. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 🥰

    Unfortunately, for reasons that remain unclear and contrary to the wishes of Dali and Gala, Salvador Dali's burial site is situated within the "Theater Museum" instead of the Gala castle. This is a source of great sadness...

      Well… Perhaps Gala left a note saying “definitely don’t bury us together” … 😉
      By the end Gala was very supportive of his work 💰💰💰 but she had grown tired of him

    Dali apparently fell over in New York late in life, and the fall triggered an epiphany for him. He realised his art up to that point was rubbish. He disowned it, and Dali became a Christian. He painted Jesus on the cross, in space, looking down on the world. This is probably why the Vatican is exhibiting Dali soon.

    Gala was a succubus end of Bunuel should have strangled her when he had the chance
    At first prolific but as the years rolled on repetitive nonsense
    And remember when he and gala visited a museum he was so overcome by lust he took gala into the corridor and sodemised her
    Attention seekers
    Better and more surrealist painters
    Dorathea Tanning Max Ernst amongst them
    Your reading stuff like out a book 📖

      Fake modernism from Fake people

      At the time when making this, I realized there was a cultural difference but knew it as if it were all under the umbrella of Spain. But now this has sent me into a Catalan, Andalusian, Basque, Spain rabbit hole, and I'm just amazed at the variety in language and culture that I previously knew as just "Spain". So THANK YOU dear commenter! I appreciate you.

      @@arthistorystorytime anytime. It’s an easy mistake to make; and sadly wiki doesn’t make it clear. I blame Franco! I had an elderly student who came from the other family of notaries in Figueras, they knew the Dalis well. Although not particularly wealthy he had a small Dali seascape from the early twenties that had been given to him by the family. My student had been an anarchist in Barcelona in the sixties and seventies and had lived quite a colourful life himself!
