160 x 145 cm (h x w)

Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali Doménech was a proud Catalonian. On the 11th of May 1904 Dali was born in Figueras, a small town in the province of Gerona. He was the second son of Salvador Dali Cusi and Felipa Doménech Ferrés .He later celebrated his birth in his own unique way. “Let all the bells ring! Let the toiling peasant straighten for a moment the ankylosed curve of his anonymous back, bowed to the soil like the trunk of an olive tree, twisted by the tramontana…
Look! Salvador Dali has just been born! It’s on mornings such as this that the Greeks and the Phoenicians must have disembarked in the bays od Posas and of Ampurias, in order to come and prepare the bed of civilization and the clean, white and theatrical sheets of my birth, settling the whole in the very centre of this plain of Ampurdán, which is the most concrete and the most objective piece of landscape that exists in the world.”
At the age of ten, young Salvador Dali chose to be a painter after spending a summer at the Moli de la Torre (the Tower Mill), which is a farmhouse belonging to the Pichots, a family of musicians and artists. He became familiar with Impressionism and French Painting thanks to Ramón Pichot, who gave him lessons. Dali absorbed those lessons like a sponge, and for the next few years Dali painted his grandmother and sister, but mostly he painted the Cadaqués coast. In Dali’s early work, he used several different techniques. He showed skills quite uncommon for a youngster, and in no time he was at the Students’ Residence in Madrid so he could study at the St. Fernando Royal Academy of Fine Arts. He ended up becoming expelled from the art school, but he also became friends with Federico Garcia Lorca and Luis Buñuel.
