This is the Year of Dalí, celebrated in commemoration of the centennial of the birth of the Catalan artist, born in Figueres on 11th May 1904. The fame of this brilliant painter, Salvador Dalí, has surpassed the borders of our country and become one of the leading icons of 20th century art.
This has occurred for two reasons. On the one hand, due to the exceptional nature and originality of his work; on the other hand, due to its provocative and eccentric character, to which no one responded with indifference. Salvador Dalí excelled above all as a painter. However, he also left sufficient examples of his exceptional talent in many other fields of art and culture. He was a sketcher, illustrator, scene painter, designer and writer, while always maintaining a great passion for scientific progress, very significant during the period in which he happened to live. The Year of Dalí aims to consider the life and art of the author in greater depth, and bring them closer to more people. Exhibitions, congresses, symposia, films, documentaries, publication of books..., all of this will shed more light on the figure of the painter from the Empordà. The functions will be held not only locally, but throughout the world, in cities linked one way or another to the universe of Dalí.
 
Eccentric and provocative)
+ In 1936, Dalí was featured on the cover of the magazine Time.
It is said that artists are not at all conventional. In the case of Salvador Dalí, this statement is especially true. Dalí was extremely provocative, an eccentric. His outlandish moustache, apparel, very surprising remarks, highly notorious scandals, the extremely original nature of his painting..., all of this ensured that he certainly did not go unnoticed. For example: in the first interview that he gave for the prestigious North American newspaper The New York Times, the journalist was surprised to see Dalí appear wearing the Catalan cap, the barretina, between two immense loaves of bread and a blue flag with skulls. Quite a spectacle...
Surrealism)
+ Surrealism pervaded the work of Dalí.
Surrealism began in Paris at the end of the First World War (1914-1918). This artistic and literary movement rejected social conventions. It was highly influenced by Sigmund Freud's theories of psychoanalysis and was based on the world of dreams and the human unconscious. Surrealism pervaded the work of Dalí, who came into contact with this movement in the early 1920s. Some of his most famous and earliest works show the influence of this artistic trend: 'The Great Masturbator' (1929), 'The Persistence of Memory' (1931) and 'The Enigma of William Tell' (1933). The latter work and other contemporary works represent Lenin, the Russian communist revolutionary. This marked the beginning of the break with the surrealists, who were committed communists.
The artist's retreats
+ The Salvador Dalí Museum-House is located in Portlligat.
The life and work of Salvador Dalí are closely linked to three places in the Empordà: Figueres, Portlligat and Púbol. Figueres is the place where he was born and died, and where he himself planned the Dalí Theatre-Museum, inaugurated in 1974. The lovely location of Portlligat was his source of inspiration. In this neighbourhood in the municipal district of Cadaqués his house was built from a cabin that he managed to buy thanks to the money obtained from sales of 'The Old Age of William Tell'. Finally, Púbol is the site of the castle he gave as a gift to his dear Gala, who accepted it on the condition that he could only enter if expressly invited.
