From childhood, Dalí cultivated a passion for dress and style, which connected him early on with the world of haute couture. Inspired by figures such as Coco Chanel, Elsa Schiaparelli, and Amanda Lear, he created a sculpture in which Venus appears like a mannequin with a rose-colored head, before whom a dandy kneels. Both lean on crutches, a central Dalí motif. The man's posture is reminiscent of Dalí's painting * The Ghost of Vermeer of Delft* , an expression of his admiration for the Dutch master.

SPAIN, 1904 - 1989
Salvador Dalí
Salvador Dalí, born in Figueras in 1904, is considered one of the leading minds of surrealism and one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. Around 1929 he found his own style, which explored the world of the unconscious and dreams. With melting clocks and burning giraffes, he created iconic images that show his technical skills in an old-masterly style. Common themes in Dalí's works are intoxication, fever and religion, with his wife Gala often playing a central role. After an eventful life that took him from Spain to the USA and back to Europe, Dalí died in 1989, leaving a lasting legacy in the art world.
