Dali
About « Woman with the head of rose »
Salvador Dalí was a surrealist painter and sculptor Spanish.
He was born May 11, 1904 and died January 23, 1989 in Figueres, Catalonia.
The presentation of this artist who redefined Surrealism is more to do.
Throughout his work, his extraordinary creative power plays with the viewer’s eye, in which the desire takes center stage.
He also knew the world captivated by his sense of provocation.
In 1935 Dali painted a painting entitled « Woman with a Head of Rose ». It is from this painting that Dali created in 1981 the sculpture « Woman with the head of rose. »
Robert Descharnes in his book « Dali, l’héritage infernal », recalls the moments spent at the Hotel Meurice in Paris alongside the artist. He evokes the realization of this sculpture: « Many things have been made at that time. Especially when it created the Woman with a head of roses, a remarkable sculpture. He had signed a contract with a nice man, William Gelender, today disappeared. »
