About the artwork
Casted in bronze, the Dalinian Dancer is caught in the midst of a twirl - skirt unfurled and arms outstretched. A reflection of Dali's interest towards baile (dance) in flamenco culture - this work is also an ode to the artist's homeland and culture. Its bronze form emanates strength in the dancer's poise and intensity, while the delicate sensitivity to each pleat in her skirt piques the viewer's curiosity to wonder what rhythmic tune she continues to dance to.
About the artist
Born on May 11, 1904, in Figueres, Spain, Salvador Dalí’s
eccentric nature and talent for self-promotion made him the most famous
representative of the surrealist movement and one of the most widely recognised
artists in the world. Identified as an artistic prodigy from a tender age, Dalí attended the drawing school at the Colegio de Hermanos Maristas and the
Instituto in Figueres, Spain in 1916. In 1922, he enrolled in the Academia de
San Fernando in Madrid and received recognition during his first solo show
held in Barcelona in 1925. Dalí became internationally known after the third
annual Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh in 1928 and grew to
immense notoriety and fame. Today, his sculptures and paintings are exhibited
in the most prestigious museums in the world and part of many coveted private
and public collections.
