Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theories, particularly around the unconscious mind and dream analysis, greatly influenced Surrealist artists like Salvador Dalí and René Magritte. Freud's ideas on the power of the subconscious and repressed desires inspired Surrealists to explore their own psyche in their art, leading to dreamlike, fantastical, and sometimes unsettling imagery in their works.
According to Graphique de France (www.graphiquedefrance.com) Allegorie de soie was painted in 1950 and is approximately 50.8 cm x 40.3 cm.
Dalí joined the surrealist group in Paris in 1929. He had then already been painting surrealist subjects for two years.
Salvador Dali is a surrealist painter, well-known for his eccentricity. His best known painting is probably "The Persistence of Memory," and it, among other pieces by him, are known for their interesting clocks. A famous quote by him is "The only difference between myself and a madman is that I am not mad."
Dali was a famous Spanish painter of the Surrealist movement, most well-known by his painting The Persistence of Memory, which features a landscape with melting clocks.
The most defining feature of Salvador Dali is his moustache, which curles upwards on both sides beneath his nose. This became his trademark at a later age, but he didn't actually have his moustache like that when he was younger. He had black hair, and looked quite elegant when he was younger. At an older age he let his hair be wilder, and he looked more excentric.
During his lifetime he spoke Spanish, Catalan, French and English.
