(web image)Salvador Dalí, Gala, 1931. Oil and collage on cardboard, 13,9 x 9,2 cm. © Salvador Dalí, Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres, 2009.
"FIGUERES.- Antoni Pitxot, director of the Dalí Theatre and Museum in Figueres, and Montse Aguer, director of the Centre for Dalinian Studies, have presented today the latest acquisition made by the Dalí Foundation: an oil titled Gala. This painting could be the first portrait of his wife and it may be viewed starting today in a montage designed specially for this exhibition by Pep Canaleta. When, in 1929, Dalí met Gala Éluard, a strong impression was provoked, so intense that from this point on he will never be separated from her, until the death of Gala in June of 1982. Wife and muse to Salvador Dalí, her real name was Elena Ivanovna Diakonova. She was a mysterious woman, transgressive, with great intuition, who recognized artistic and creative genius wherever she saw it and throughout her life, even before meeting Salvador Dalí, she was related to numerous intellectuals and artists." ...
