 Dalí sublimated his life in
his art of painting. Relying on great craftsmanship, acquired in all sorts
of art experiments, he lifted surrealism, in an inimitable self-willed
manner, to exceptional heights. He photographed, as it were, associatively
what was enacted in his mind. Incited by, at the time, new psychological
insights he tried to fix his subconscious with images, and to visualise
his dreams in all their inscrutable symbolism. It was for this purpose
that he developed his famous "paranoid-critical" method. To us, one
dimensional mortal souls, only the paintings and other expressions remain
as fascinating witnesses to a literally unbelievably intense and active
life. Perhaps we are so drawn to them because not only do they allow us to
have a look inside Dahlí's subconscious, but they also are a mirror
reflecting our own souls. |
