The glaring Dali is always associated with his picture of a soft bell that is about to "melt". He used paintings to express the dreams and hallucinations revealed by Freud, hiding his rational wisdom under the crazy and irrational appearance. In the author's opinion, Dali's unique paintings are inseparable from the human geography of Spain. The dreamlike seascape often appears in his paintings comes from his childhood hometown memories. His reflection on his native land and his projection of emotion made him develop a mature style. "Two of the luckiest things happened to painters: first, the spaniards; Second, Dali. It happened to me in both cases." Dali once said.

       In today's China, Salvador Dali is no longer a strange and mysterious name. His grotesque image and dreamlike images are no longer surprising. Without a doubt, he stands out as one of the greatest sights of the surging artistic currents of the 20th century.

        In 1989, the talented artist finished his amazing life. And right now the reform and opening up of China just beginning, art bound 85 new wave not interest. In the face of the western modern and contemporary art trends, most of the public is still in the stage of art enlightenment, and the feeling of uneasiness, suddenness, doubt and bewilderment is mixed together. At the same time, a desire, excitement, curiosity, surprise in the hearts of many art lovers to grow vigorously. When information did not spread quickly, people probably asked: who was Dali?

　　Salvador Dali

　　More than two decades later, the artistic genius that has come to be known to the Chinese public since its opening, especially the glaring Dali that more and more Chinese tourists are seeing in art galleries around the world, is still a familiar and unfamiliar image. Dali's paintings have too many dreams, but also the most complex "story". He admitted that his painting "the eternity of memory" showed a "dream and illusion revealed by Freud", which he did not choose. Only dreams are real. The fanatical Spaniard believed in Freud. When Dali met Freud in London after finishing his book "Spain," Freud said, "I have never seen such a perfect example of a Spaniard. And Dali himself said, "the only difference between me and mankind is that I am mad; The only difference between a madman and me is that I am not mad. Under the appearance of Dali's crazy and irrational, what hides is rational wisdom.

　　《Eternity of memory》

　　Dali consciously explored his own unique aesthetic views and creative methods, and integrated his religious views. In 1929, with his own theory of articles and poems gathered to see the woman, in which "paranoid critical method" are summarized: make yourself mental abnormality of critical state, with the paranoia of free association, fantasy, way to stimulate or develop their own creative thoughts, and fine brushwork described these thoughts out. To become a hot star in the early 1930s painting circle. For example, the eternity of memory, which he wrote in 1931, attempts to turn Freud's theory of the unconscious into a "conscious" one, in which he makes a philosophical inquiry into the ontology of time. "The Persistence of Memory." The word Persistence, as interpreted by The Oxford dictionary, is "a persistent attempt, regardless of difficulties, to achieve The purpose of doing something." It is obvious that this perseverance will not be aimless and lack of constant and clear direction of consciousness like native artists. The images that emerge are filled with almost absurd dreams. This may be Bergson's "creative intuition" with a "flow of life consciousness" and "blending of reason". Thus, Dali, who today looks on coldly and ACTS recklessly, also confirms Bergson's famous saying: "people who are really successful are often those who dare to take big risks".

　　And what I'm interested in is the match between Spanish human geography and the genius of the artist. This is also the home of Picasso, miro, gaudi, and Dali is so mysterious. Combined with Dali's paintings of different periods and styles, this profound relationship can be presented from the geographical environment and historical background of his life. Special cultural background - the long-term in a Spanish Catalonia traditional Christian civilization and the eastern coastal area of Arab civilization, Dali mysticism is rooted in the cultural diversity - from Dali revered velazquez s, goya, gaudi, artists such as pablo Picasso, Spanish art context and aesthetic geography symbol: the most important thing in Dali and dachshund along the Mediterranean scenery - it became Dali paintings conventional shot, with the idea of this piece of land back projection and emotional, let he really formed its own mature style. This is actually the place that art geography is worth exploring.

　　D 'urberville, an archaeologist. Quincy once put forward the theory of the context, believing that the original function of art works is inseparable from their origin. Similarly, Dana, published in the 19th century, the philosophy of art "is affected by kong DE positivism, emphasis on race, environment, age three factors restricting effects of spiritual culture, think race is" internal impetus ", the environment is the external power, the time is "the day after tomorrow", so as to make the art and climate, geographical conditions and various kinds of way of life are closely linked. At the same time, environmental determinism became a major concept in geography and even in human thought throughout the 19th century. Environmental determinism holds that "material environment and natural environment determine or influence the human world, including the human physique, national character, social life, state form and cultural concept. Natural environment such as climate, terrain, soil and vegetation plays an important role in the formation of national cultural characteristics. (art geography -- a study of contemporary art phenomena in China, P31, China academy of fine arts press, June 2015, the first edition) Up to? Costa? Courfehmann's book towards the geography of art and other anthologies make the thought of art geography come to the foreground and make the theory of art geography complete by taking historical geography as the key word.

　　Whether from the perspective of cultural anthropology or artistic geography, the relationship between man and earth is also an aspect of exploring the development of personality aesthetics and art. In his history of ancient art, winkelmann "studies art as an organic whole existing in time and space rather than as an isolated work" (ditto). For example, he associated the production of Greek art with the warm climate of Greece, which caused the greeks to wear little or no clothes. The appearance of nude art in ancient Greece is a matter of itself.

        Dali was very narcissistic and arrogant. He once said in an interview, 'The two most fortunate things that can happen to a painter are, first, to be Spanish and, second, to be named Dali. These two fortunate things have happened to me. Two of the luckiest things happened to the painter: first, the spaniards; Second, Dali. It happened to me in both cases. Spain, located on the Iberian peninsula at the southwest end of the European continent, is mostly a plateau with mountains. It is bounded by Portugal in the west, the Mediterranean Sea in the east and Italy, the strait of Gibraltar in the south and Africa, and the bay of biscay in the north. Continental climate and maritime climate interweave. The Celtic, Phoenician, Roman, Moorish, and Visigoth cultures clashed and blended in the vicissitudes of centuries, forging the heroic, imaginative and open character of the Spanish. Just as gaudi "piled" images of Marine life into the magnificent and magnificent family church; Or as Picasso used his cubist magic to create a composite mirror space. Moreover, their artistic imagination is deeply impressed by the traces of their hometown. In Picasso's "the girl of avignon", the two figures on the right are inspired by the shape of African masks, while the three girls on the left are simple with large apricot eyes, reflecting the influence of Iberian art on him. This hometown factor is also found in Dali's works.

　　《Avignon maiden》

　　The well-known little painting known to man, "the eternity of memory," offers a distant view of a seaside landscape in which the shadows of rocks show their hard lines in the evening light. This is not the first time such a sea view has appeared in Dali's paintings. It comes from his childhood hometown. When he was 10 years old or so appeared on the "tower mill" tall tower, this mysterious spectacular scenery shook him, dancing around in his brain, he looked at the mountains in the distance, the mountain peak in the dusk while only presents the outline of a cloud of dark, but with the help of the setting sun in the sky the divergence of a band of scarlet and gold, with transparent and pure air, still can identify the undulating hills. This clear and three-dimensional memory of the sea created "the most magnificent dream" for Dali.

　　First draft of our lady of ligat

　　In Dali's art world, time can be questioned and dispelled. However, the memory of his hometown still stubbornly exists. In 1948, Daly returned to the port of ligat with his beloved wife, gara, and settled there. A year later, he wrote the virgin of ligat. It is thought to be based on a Renaissance francisca altarpiece, although the shells on the buildings and the hanging eggs are almost identical in both images, while the Mediterranean scenery and the image of the virgin Mary in the background of the port of riligat are replaced by gallas, who settled with him in the port of riligat. In fact, Dali's "the weaning of practical furniture" and "atomic rita" all have the geographical landscape of ligat port. Similarly, Dali's works have many themes about the town of figueras and the countryside. At the bottom of the screen of Christ of the cross is the coastline, rocks and boats of the hometown town. Thus, what we see in Dali, a crazy Spaniard and talented artist, is not only mysterious and grotesque, but also his deep feeling. Dali was born in 1904 in figueras, during which he had traveled to France, Britain, the United States, Italy and other foreign countries, but in the end of his life, he returned to his native land, and finally died of heart disease in figueras' home. This kind of life "closed loop" seems to be an unusual "fate", with the context semantics of historical geography can be fully elucidated.

　　《The cross of John Christ》

　　Dali the mad man is the 20th century's most astonishing artistic legend. Dali USES his unruly dreams to "resist" the chaotic realities of the 20th century, and finally returns to his beloved homeland.

It is true that Dali, the Spaniard, is far or near, hidden or visible.
