Where did Salvador Dali meet Federico Garcia Lorca?

Answer 1

I believe that this question could be answered either Yes or No, regarding to which context you analyse the history and "still available proof".

Salvador was, without doubt, a brilliant artist beyond compare, and a quite common fact in the world of psychology is that brilliance in a certain aspect of your life will always go hand in hand with a "handicapped deviation" in another part of your life.

This is easily recognized in the life of an artist since all of them could be "categorized" as expressionist, thus emotions deeds are easily readable by society. As is the fact that artists are quite beloved and frequently live rather exposed lives, although deep within most artists suffer of a lack of privacy.

Along with Salvador's brilliance in abundance came a high level of eccentricity and an almost schizophrenic attitude, which is well needed to attach your soul to your work, periodically.

Eccentricity, and schizophrenia allows homosexuality in all aspects of inner human needs and behaviour, even against what is socially acceptable.

Both of the artist's lifestyle and work has got several hints, and not only hints, but also declarations about homosexuality. Except for the fact that Salvador's work was mostly about condemned love, a hungered lust and loss of life and love, Salvador often spoke about Federico more than he would about his own wife.

Although Salvador was always a very eccentric man, after the death of Federico, Salvador played on the last step of insanity... Which was also his prerogative and the reason for his popularity.

Is it then obvious or coincidence that whether Salvador loved Federico or not, Salvador certainly had a deep emotional bond with Federico.

I believe that the deepest love and sincerity often blooms without having to say a word... The depth of Salvador and Federico's relationship seldom needed words or deeds to prove anything to society surrounding them.

Any poet that is worth his salt will know that there is no question about Federico's deep and intense love for Salvador.

Opinionated answer due to several psychological analyses and archived evidence: I believe Salvador loved Federico more than a poet could describe and more than society could judge him for...

Any opinions stated to prove the contrary could be purely based on his almost-insanity...
