More information
"Efter genomvandrandet av helvetet och skärselden når Dante slutligen till paradiset, det tredje av de dödsriken han besöker på den pilgrimsfärd han skildrar i sitt berömda diktverk Divina Commedia, Den gudomliga komedin."
"Dante genomvandrar detta celesta spel för att härda sig att tåla en allt högre grad av det eviga ljuset, att bli delaktig av en allt större klarhet, en allt högre sanning. Ty paradiset är den högsta insikt och visdom..." Eller som Olof Lagercrantz fortsätter, "medan ytligheten och okunnigheten och den fåraktiga fastlåsningen är det sant helvetiska tillståndet och bjuder en tillvaro utan hopp." (Utdrag ur Galerie Börjesons presentation av utställningen, 5/10-25/10 1974).
Artist
Salvador Dalí, was born in 1904 in Spain and died in 1989. He is one of the most popular artists of the 20th century and one of our most noted surrealists. Dalí's early paintings show the influence of Cubism, Pittura Metafisica and novelty. He was also largely inspired by classical masters. In 1927 Dalí came to Paris, and in 1929 he was included in the surrealist group with André Bréton as the leader. Dalí was very much influenced by Freud's paranoid-critical method, which means that everything is interpreted symbolically.
Few people have such a peculiar universe as Salvador Dali, where an imaginative mix of madness performed with technical perfection and accuracy reigns. As an artist, Dalí was a true renaissance-man who worked in art, film, literature, theatre and fashion. All these different strings and his popularity still today show that his art expressed something that no one else could transfer from thought to work.
