I already talked about the temporary exhibition at. But in Paris there is a whole museum dedicated to this brilliant Spanish artist.
It is located in Montmartre. I found out about it at the hotel. There was a flyer in the advertising magazine that provided a discount for visiting.
This museum has the most complete collection sculptures of the great master of surrealism
The nobility of time . The clock flows around the tree, the eternal symbol of life. At the top of the watch is a crown, symbolizing the superiority of time over man. A contemplative angel and a shawled woman look. Dali shows that time reigns supremely over art and human reality.
Time Profile. All people must come to terms with the passage of time.
space elephant. Embodies the symbol born in 1946 in Dali's painting called " Temptation of Saint Anthony«.
Surrealist piano (1954 - 1984). Dali replaced the banal wooden legs of the piano with the legs of dancers. Bringing the instrument to life, allowing it to enjoy the opportunity to dance and play. 
Tribute to Newton
Birdman (1972 -1981). Dali combines two incompatible parts. Replaces human head the head of a heron, makes a man half a bird or a bird half a man. This creature cannot distinguish which of the two parts dominates. A person is not always who he appears to be. Dali wants to leave us in doubt, this is his game.
Space Venus. Dali pays tribute to a woman. The beauty of the flesh is temporary and fades with time, but the beauty of art is infinite. Cosmic Venus is divided into two halves, revealing an egg. Symbol of life, renewal, continuation and future.
Saint George and the Dragon. Saint George was the patron saint of all knights in medieval Europe. Dali reconstructs famous legend about the dragon three-dimensional form. We see in the background a woman raising her hand in victory. Perhaps the artist reports that all warriors are fought for the sake of women.
Vision of an Angel (1977 - 1984) Dali believes in religion, and in the power of its symbolism. According to him, the unity of the Lord is represented by the thumb, from where life arises (tree branches). Although man is united with the Lord, the Divineknowledge is the highest.
Woman on Fire (1980) The sculpture combines two vivid, obsessive ideas of Dali: fire and female forms with drawers. The flames represent the latent intensity of the subconscious desire, while the drawers represent the mystery. hidden secrets. This woman without a face represents all women. For a distance women's secret this is her true beauty.
Snail and angel. It is known that the snail was one of Dali's most obsessive fetishes. It paradoxically combines softness with hardness (shell). The shell is a symbol of the slow passage of time. The angel who keeps the strength of the spirit visits her and bestows unlimited speed.
Angel close up.
The artist's favorite theme is a leaking clock.
TributeTerpsichore, the muse of dance. We see two surreal dancers moving in space. The dancer with classical smooth forms represents grace and the unconscious, the other with cubic forms represents chaotic rhythm. modern life. Two forms dance together in each.
Surreal Warrior (1971 - 1984) The warrior represented by Dali symbolizes all victories: real and metaphysical, spiritual and physical.

"Telephone-lobster" - surreal sculpture created by the famous Spanish painter Salvador Dali (1904-1989) in the second half of the 30s of the twentieth century. The extraordinary sculpture was created in collaboration with another surrealist painter, Edward James.
Included in the cycle of works of the painter called "War and Paranoia".
On this moment the sculpture is in the Tate Gallery, Liverpool. It is a combined diverse things, which are connected by a non-specialized idea. At the bottom is a simple dark-colored phone.
In the upper part there is a model of a lobster, which is made of plaster. The essence of the combination, which at first seems to be completely reckless, is contained in the fact that Salvador Dali, by such an action, decided to express his own protest against the general worship of technology. The sculpture has approximately the following subtext:
People separated from nature and are now separated from each other. With the advent of telephones, people also do not need to see each other in order to communicate.
Now live communication is replaced by wires and audio communications. Not paying attention to the fact that with the advent of telephones people will be able to communicate, moreover, over vast distances, it is telephones that separate people from each other.
The combination of a lobster and a telephone here can take on the most meanings and different forms. It all depends on the mind of the viewer. This is possible and a hint of the need to be closer to nature.
In addition, Salvador Dali expressed in this a certain one-dimensionality of two things: the telephone, as a product of human industrialization, and the lobster, as a popular consumer product. In addition, the lobster is an aphrodisiac and in this sculpture is a sign of sexual thirst.
The fact that some sexual connotation is hidden under the lobster can be indicated by the illustration by Salvador Dali, which was created a year earlier and was called the “Aphrodisiac Telephone” (Aphrodisiac Telephone), where, in addition, there was a lobster instead of a phone handle.
Salvador Dali himself said: “I don’t understand why, at the time when I order a fried lobster in a restaurant, they don’t give me a boiled phone under any circumstances; and besides, I don’t understand why champagne is always drunk chilled, but some handsets, which in most cases are so disgustingly warm and not very pleasantly sticky to the touch, are under no circumstances served in the same silver pails and covered with crushed ice.
For the first time, the work was presented at the first English exhibition of surrealist craftsmanship in the second half of the 30s of the twentieth century. Dali, who imagined his work, gave a lecture in the costume of a Volodaz.
In total, there are five copies of the sculpture "Telephone-lobster". The first is exhibited at the Tate Gallery in Liverpool, the second at the Dali Universe exhibition in London, the third at the Telecommunications Museum in Frankfurt, the fourth at National Gallery Australia, and the fifth copy is owned by the Edward James Foundation.
Salvador Dali is the author of the logo of the famous Chupa-Chups lollipops. Enric Bernat, the founder of the company, personally asked Dali for help in creating the logo. And so, on the old newspaper, from under the hand of a surrealist, the world-famous logo appeared today. The decision to place the logo on top of the lollipop instead of on the side was also a brilliant suggestion by Dali.
As a reward, El Salvador received a decent fee and demanded that a box of candy be delivered to him daily. With these lollipops, he came to the playground, defiantly unpacking the lollipop, licking it and throwing it on the ground. The process was repeated until Dali was completely satisfied with it.

2. Threw Yoko Ono for money.
Amanda Lear, known as Dali's muse, shared a story: Yoko Ono once asked Dali to send her hair from his legendary mustache. Dali thought Yoko Ono was a witch and could put a spell on him. Instead, he asked Amanda to find a dry stalk of grass in the garden and send it to Yoko in a cool packing box.
Yoko Ono paid $10,000 for it.

3. Love for Gala.
Yes, this story is definitely on the list. unusual stories from the life of Dali. Elena Ivanovna Dyakonova, known as Gala, met the young Dali, being 10 years older than him and married. But love struck both and soon they got married.
This aroused the indignation of the Dali family, but it was not so important. Gala became his muse for life. Once, he gave her a castle in the province of Girona, where he could not come without a written invitation. Now Gala is buried there.

4. Surrealists did not recognize him.
Dali was openly fascinated by the figure of Hitler. He even painted a picture in which the image of Hitler was presented as a landscape. The Surrealists saw this as Nazism, unacceptable at the time, and expelled Dali from their company.

5. Not an addict.
There is a stereotype that all extraordinary creators take drugs, which serves as a source of creativity for them. But Dali was not involved in this. He stated, “I don't do drugs. I am the drug."
He plunged into the state necessary for creativity with the help of the paranoid-critical method, which he invented himself. One of the ways he kept himself in a fairy state involved staring at a particular object until it took on a different form, causing a hallucination.

6. Was expelled from art school. Twice.
Being a rebel since childhood, Dali was not shy fancy clothes and behaviour. At that time, the style of the British dandy of the 19th century, which Dali adhered to, was considered extravagant. Dali never finished school. The first time he was expelled was because of his participation in school protests. In the second - in 1926, right before the exams.
Without studying, Dali did not waste time in vain and soon went to Paris. There he met his idol, Pablo Picasso.

7. Reincarnation.
Dali had an older brother. Unfortunately, he died of meningitis and 9 months later Salvador Dali was born - he was named after his older brother's name.
At the age of five, Dali's parents took him to his brother's grave and told him that he was his reincarnation. Salvador Dali believed in this concept, although he once admitted that he for a long time I wanted to prove to myself that he is he, and not a new version deceased brother.

8. Own museum.
Once the mayor of the city of Figueres ( hometown Dali) asked the artist to donate one work of art to a local museum. In response, Dalí restored the city's theater building into the world-famous Dalí Theatre-Museum.

9. Alice in Wonderland.
Once Dali acted as an illustrator for the legendary Alice in Wonderland. The combination of Dali's style with the plots of Lewis Carroll turned out to be very advantageous. At first, only 2,700 copies were published, but books continued to be published.

10. Hologram of Alice Cooper.
The collaboration between Dali and Cooper is considered one of the most epic in the art world. The creators mutually admired each other, and once Dali invited Alice to cooperate.
Together they created the world's first hologram of Alice Cooper and generally had a great time.
11. Royal heart.
Salvador Dali has created a dazzling gold masterpiece covered with 46 rubies, 42 diamonds, two emeralds and more precious stones. And that's not the most impressive part. Internal mechanism makes the Royal Heart beat like it's a living human heart.
Now it is in the Dali Theatre-Museum.
12. Vogue.
Usually on the covers of Vogue magazine we see photos of models. But a couple of times on the covers of Vogue there were drawings by a famous surrealist.

13. Fashion designer.
Dali loved fashion. He worked closely with the Italian designer Elsa Schiaparelli, who created things inspired by his works. In particular, his Lobster Phone was an inspiration, and in the 1930s they made a lobster dress for the Duchess of Windsor.
Dali also created a shoe-shaped hat, a belt with buckle lips, and perfume bottles. In 1950 he collaborated with close friend Christian Dior on a project about the fashion of the future. Dali designed "Dress for 2045".

14. Dinner party.
Dali loved to gather guests at his fun activities. For example, to gather everyone at a common table. Everything is extremely surreal. Here is a short report from the scene:
15. Didn't pay at the restaurant.
When Dali and his friends were going to have dinner at a restaurant, Dali asked to draw up an account for himself. It was necessary to pay by check, so Dali drew some kind of sketch on it. He knew that no one would cash him in, since his drawings were considered a hundred times more valuable.

7. God of what, according to him own confession, was Ole Lukoye from Andersen's fairy tale?
Surrealism has always had a hard time in the two dimensions of painting. Dali is undoubtedly a painter. But from time to time, he also needed to create three-dimensional models of his complex images in order to better understand his own idea and the way it was embodied on canvas.
The master worked exclusively with wax, since he himself never considered his sculptures as independent works. The world learned about Dali the sculptor only thanks to the collector Isidre Klot, who bought his wax models from the master and ordered bronze castings from them. The sculptures presented to the public created a sensation in the art world. Many sculptures were subsequently enlarged many times and adorned not only museum collections, but also the area of many cities.
In terms of content, absolutely all of Dali's sculptures are the plastic embodiment of images that are well known from his paintings. Thanks to the volume, many images have acquired additional expressiveness and aesthetic sound.
Adam and Eve
The work is a composition of the figures of the Ancestors, as well as the Serpent, curved in the form of a heart. In this figured loop, Eve gives an apple to Adam. The author interprets biblical history as the knowledge of the joys of carnal love through criminal sin, attractive and desirable.
The figures of people look somewhat generalized, they are devoid of individual traits, which is undoubtedly done consciously. The serpent, on the contrary, is made carefully and precisely. The center of the composition is clearly marked with an apple from the tree of Knowledge. Bronze made it possible to designate accents, highlighting them with color. The serpent is done in golden colors, and the apple - a perfect sphere - is mirror polished and looks almost mother-of-pearl.
Time Profile
One of the artist's favorite images is a plastic, flowing watch. Dali has several similar sculptures. The time profile is the most famous of all. The phenomenon of time is especially important for surrealist artists who perceive time as an indispensable attribute of all their subjects, mysterious, complex and obscure. Transience, illusory and elusiveness of time - the subject close attention author.
Saint George and the Dragon
The classic plot in the interpretation of the author looks a little different than we are used to seeing it. The iconic symbol of the Saint on horseback slaying the Dragon is complemented by a small figure of a woman, standing somewhat at a distance, who raised her hand, welcoming the feat of George. The author thus reminds of those for whom the feat was accomplished, of the lady in whose name the knights perform all their feats, of love and protection of the weak. The artist pushes the boundaries classic plot, forces the viewer to reconsider their attitude to the classics.
Space Venus
The world-famous forms of ancient Venus in Dali's work are somewhat changed, modernized, eroticized. The sculpture is complemented by details that embody the idea of the author. The first detail is the "current clock", designed to remind the viewer of the variability of people's tastes and aesthetic ideas. Second detail - golden egg- a symbol of the great destiny of a woman - to give life. The symbols of the eternal and the passing are united in the work. The author ironically over the variability of human tastes, contrasting them with the eternal and constant wisdom of nature.
Perseus
In this case, the author turns to mythology, moreover, he uses the famous statue of Cellini as a model. In the sculpture of the great surrealist, Perseus is depicted schematically, the details are not worked out. The face is completely missing. The head of the Gorgon is also very schematic. In its content, the work is an interpretation of the content of the myth. The hero killed the Gorgon, destroying with a glance, only because he himself managed to get rid of the face, the most vulnerable place.
Today in Europe there are more than three hundred sculptures. Most of them are the third and fourth copies cast in original forms collector Klot. The original sculptures are kept in his private collection.
