Salvador Felip Jacint Dalí Domènech (Catalan) Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí Domènech (Spanish), (May 11, 1904January 23, 1989) was a Spanish artist who became one of the most important painters of the 20th century. He is best known for his surrealist work identified by its striking, bizarre, dreamlike images, combined with his excellent draftsmanship and painterly skills influenced by the Renaissance masters.Dali, Salvador. (2000) Dali: 16 Art Stickers, Courier Dover Publications. ISBN 0-486-41074-9. An artist of great talent and imagination, he had a love of doing unusual things to draw attention to himself. This sometimes irked those who loved his art as much as it annoyed his critics, since his eccentric theatrical manner sometimes overshadowed his artwork in public attention.

Biography


Salvador Dalí was born on May 11, 1904, in the town of Figueres, in the Empordà region close to the French border, in Catalonia, Spain, son of the comfortably off middle-class notary Salvador Dalí i Cusí and Felipa Domenech Ferres.Llongueras, Lluís. (2004) Dalí, Ediciones B - Mexico. ISBN 84-666-1343-9. Dalí's father, a lawyer who was a strict disciplinarian, was tempered by his wife who encouraged her son's drawing.Rojas, Carlos. (1993) Salvador Dali, Or the Art of Spitting on Your Mother's Portrait, Penn State Press. ISBN 0-271-00842-3. Dalí had an older brother, also named Salvador, who died prior to Dalí’s birth.Davies, Betty. (1998) Shadows in the Sun, Psychology Press (UK). ISBN 0-87630-911-2. At the age of five he was taken to his brother's grave and told by his parents that he was his brother reincarnate. He also had a sister, Ana María, who was 3 years younger than him.

Dalí attended Drawing School, where he first received formal art training. In 1916 Dalí discovered modern painting on a summer vacation to Cadaqués (in the nearby Costa Brava) with the family of Ramon Pichot, a local artist who made regular trips to Paris.

Volume 21, number 2: Copley's Cargo
Roberts Mon, 30 Jul 2007 16:33:05 -0500
In 1765, John Singleton Copley sent his painting Henry Pelham (Boy with a Squirrel) from Boston to London in hopes of receiving feedback from the arbiters of academic aesthetics. Several months later, he received the welcome news that Sir Joshua Reynolds had called the painting "wonderfull." In virtually every scholarly narrative of early American art, Boy with a Squirrel derives its canonical significance from this famous transatlantic relay. But the most basic reality of that relay–the massive fact of the Atlantic Ocean standing between Copley and his interlocutors–has barely been registered in the scholarship.This essay interprets Boy with a Squirrel in terms of the difficulty and delicacy of its transatlantic transmission. I argue that Copley, as he attempted to create a painting that would have the necessary transitive qualities, drew from an array of familiar discourses of Atlantic exchange and transport. The painting's profile format evoked strategies of numismatic exchange. The precise representation of the flying squirrel tapped into well-established transatlantic natural history circuits. The spatial transformations of the composition echoed not only empiricist theories of sensory conveyance (especially the writings of George Berkeley), but also mirrored the workaday dynamics of the shipping and reassembly of transatlantic commodities. Copley, like many other colonial artists, worked in a global community governed by distance, difference, and delay. By attending to the vehicular context of Boy with a Squirrel, we can begin to understand his strategies for articulating–and navigating–that new global space.
