How Salvador Dali found a house in Florida

When Mike Wallace met Salvador Dali in 1958, the painter seemed to be believed to live forever. When he was asked what he thought would happen to him when he died, Al -Surali replied, “I do not believe in Move.”

“You will not die?”

“No, no, generally believed in death, but on the death of Dali? Certainly no, no.”

Dali an act He dies, in 1989. But somehow, he was right. The artist lives in the Daly Museum in Saint Petersburg, Florida.

The group lists his career through more than 2,400 of his work, from oil paintings to sculptural festivals to high -end jewelry. Inside Dalí Dome, “Dalí alive 360” appears completely for visitors in his art.

“Its headquarters is located in Dalí’s,” said Hank Hin, CEO of the museum. “This is, Dali was always trying to do things in new ways. The amazing thing in Dali is that his effect is still perceived today, not only in art, but in culture in general.”

Today, Salvador Dali may be a familiar name, but his name first belongs to his eldest son. Hin said: “His parents called him the name of his dead brother.” “This inhibits him with a burden of identity that continued throughout his life, and he can explain a lot of his art – for example, his double pictures, where you see something, and you see something else. So, this Salvador Dali always wondered,“ Am I myself or the other? “

Many Dalí works combine realism and surrealism – a overlap that can be pulled thanks to his training as a classic accurate painter. “He can paint an old master, however, he was not satisfied with staying there.”

She said that Dali found an inspiration by diving in the depth of the subconscious. “” “” “

As long as the time goes, the famous Dali painting for melting hours, “Memory of Memory”, is actually in the Museum of Modern Art in New York. But his follow -up here, hanging in a museum in Daly’s state.

The artist had no connection with Saint Petersburg, Florida. But what he did was two great fans. The wealthy couple in Ohio, Eleanor and Renolds Morse, bought Dali’s painting to celebrate their first anniversary, a purchase that started for life from assembly and friendship. They have gained everything from cubic paintings in Dali to the largest religious paintings.

Hin said: “They loved Dali to the point that they only bought Dali for four decades, and they were able to collect what is the prominent group of Dali in the world.”

When the Morse family decided to donate its group in the late 1970s, they insisted that everything went to one location, but no museum ascended. After the Wall Street Journal wrote an article (“The American scientist, the people of St. Petersburg, Florida, said,” Well, heck, we will take it. “

In 2011, the group moved to its current location, where Morses Brad’s son now comes to see the paintings that once covered his childhood home. “There was no square or inch foot, even from the wall area that was not carrying the Dali plate,” he said.

In fact, the oily painting in Dali in 1956 “Nature Morte Vivante (is still unpleasant) hanging over a Brad Morse bed.

Now, more than 300,000 visitors come annually to see the wonderful ways that Dali Al -Alam saw.

“Dalí had a really wonderful quote, and I think it indicates how he saw himself and how he saw the world, and that was,” I am not dealing with drugs. I I am Drugs. He thought that the vision, as he did, would completely change your point of view. “

Dali was seen as an eccentric. Especially in his subsequent life, he was completely known for his wild personality as he was in his art. But in death, his work gained more cash.

“I think his high fame is not over,” he said. “The star of Dali is still rising in the world, and this is largely due to what he suggested in his art about the ability to see the world in a different way, which we really need in this world today.”
