Salvador Dali. Love on the canvas of time. Benois S.

His Russian muse with the strange name of Gala Salvador Dali met in the summer of 1929, when he was 25 and she was 35 years old, and she was the wife of the French poet Elyuar Paul. The artist and muse saw each other - and after the first meeting, they did not part 53 years old: only death was separated. “She began to consider me as a half -crazy genius,” Dali admitted.

- She believed that I could become the embodiment of her own myths. " The fatal “vamp” of Gala, whose name in French means “holiday”, has become the main model for the painter, an incentive of his “Happenings” - erotic spectacles with a taste of scandal. She made Salvador Dali a genius, he left her image in hundreds of paintings.

The author of Sofya Benois claims: “The love of Salvador Dali and his Russian chosen one is fraught with many oddities in which canvases, riddles, hallucinations, games and games are entered. phobias - and from this the history of their relationship becomes only more attractive. "
