Dalí, diamond artist: a hybrid in the art world

Embodiment of the Star Artist, Dalí unleashes passions by playing on a constant highlighting of himself and all the oxymorons that inhabit him. Author of indisputable masterpieces, especially when his painting was at its peak in the early 1930s, he was also this creator whose provocative attitudes and reactionary political positions earned him the opprobrium of his contemporaries.

Inventor of images and objects entering into the collective imagination, whose reputation goes far beyond the artistic milieu and its time, his mode of representation turns his back on the modernist avant-garde.

 

When provocation rhymes with performance

Executed with extreme precision, his disturbing scenes of double images, unexpected encounters, imaginary and dreamlike figures call out – especially when they take on a sexual dimension – because their interpretations can only be multiplied.

During these years of artistic exaltation, the artist elevates provocation to the rank of a system and celebrates this principle in many highly resounding “happenings”.

 

Dalí sapiosexuel?

Slayer of utopias and idealism, advocating an area of freedom freed from conditioning, from all social and moral conventions, he claims and heroizes the position of the anti-hero. A great admirer of Freud’s Psychoanalysis, he calls himself a “polymorphic pervert”, and some of his works are a true dialectic between moral feeling, perversion, and degradation as a synonym of his morbid drives.

 

Guardian Angels of the Valley – Purgatory 8 – The Divine Comedy

In 1957, Salvador Dalí was delighted to be approached by the Italian government to illustrate a reissue of La Divine Comédie – by the Florentine poet Dante (1265-1321) – in order to celebrate his 700th birthday. This account of celestial adventures in which Dante discovers the horizons of hell and Calvary, obviously inspires Salvador Dalí – this Catholic superstitious, passionate about the esoteric, the mysterious, and the hard to imagine.

Long poem divided into three parts – Hell, Purgatory, and ParadiseThe Divine Comedy is one of the most acclaimed Italian masterpieces in the world. Reputed to be a testament to medieval history, it is the first work to give the color of the torment of hell, to meet the Holy Trinity – The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.

Esteemed and regularly praised for having marked world literature, Dante – poet, writer and politician – continues to cross the centuries after having penetrated the skies.

For the record, the Italian government almost abandoned the project. Exhibited at the Palazzo Pallavicini in Rome, Dalí’s illustrations provoke the indignation of the Italians, offended that a Spaniard set to work, rather than a man from their homeland. Pained but not discouraged, Dalí continues his work. One thing is certain, the magnificent illustrations that follow are probably Dalí’s darkest drawings.

The Guardian Angels of the Valley – Purgatory 8, is one of the works whose provocation is caustic, and gives rise to a thunderous interpretation to say the least.

 

History

Bishop François d’Estaing (1462-1529) revives the cult of the guardian angel in Catholic Christendom. He dedicates a chapel to him in the cathedral of Rodez in Aveyron. A mass inaugurated this devotion on June 3, 1526.

In 1853, the Council of Reims formalized the cult of guardian angels and fixed their feast on October 2:

“In the upheaval and arrangement of human lives, the role and influence of angels, either good or bad, is very important; anyone who wants to ignore it is certainly unable to fully understand and expose history and life. of individuals and peoples, and above all of the Holy Church. “
