用什么來描述達利呢？他的小胡子一翹眼睛一瞪，這道填空就變成了命題作文。玩科學、做表演、聊時尚、拍電影，列舉完這些方才反應過來那層古怪的外衣下，藏著一位真性情的藝術家。
　　在客觀寫實規(guī)律早已被藝術家們掌控的二十世紀，弗洛伊德對內心自我的追尋理論大行其道，也開啟了達利探索超現(xiàn)實幻覺的執(zhí)著。其實達利曾閱讀過大量的哲學書籍，直到弗洛伊德《夢的解析》擊中他。本就熱衷于做出格的事情以引起他人的注意，這樣不羈的性格更促使達利把荒謬夢境般的形象搬至紙面。鋼琴、泉水、云、樹木，這些熟悉的形象符號讓人感覺并不難懂，但達利的組合創(chuàng)作方式因為違背邏輯而顯得荒誕，這是他自己對主觀世界做出的另類解讀。達利注重的形象是"超現(xiàn)實主義的物品應當是絕對無用的，并且從實用的觀點看是絕對荒謬的，它以最大的可觸知性體現(xiàn)著發(fā)狂個性的精神奇想。"
　　隨時代進程流淌在時間線上的達利，著實把自己也活成了藝術品。他在專業(yè)領域里的創(chuàng)作本就足以在頂峰站穩(wěn)，沒想商業(yè)領域里更是如魚得水。這種在當時新鮮的跨界和發(fā)展方式也無意間點亮了其他藝術家，例如安迪·沃霍爾、草間彌生、翠西·艾敏等，為他們打開了一扇新的大門。當然，縱使在各個領域大放異彩，都難掩達利在畫作上最為開創(chuàng)性的成就。
　　放置于歷史長河，他在現(xiàn)實中編織的幻境雖較晚走進人們的視野，達利仍被認作最重要的超現(xiàn)實主義大師之一。當初與伯樂安德烈布列松相識后被邀請進超現(xiàn)實主義圈子，卻因為中立的政治態(tài)度而沒能待過西班牙內戰(zhàn)?；蛟S這樣的結果聽起來讓人有些沮喪，但不要忘記他可是達利，傲嬌的他反而更大聲宣布："沒有人可以剝離開我和超現(xiàn)實主義，因為我就是超現(xiàn)實主義！"
　　作為二十世紀超現(xiàn)實主義運動最具代表性的先驅之一，達利以一種怪異而致絕妙的方式挖掘潛意識，重新詮釋想象力和創(chuàng)造力。新年伊始，杜若云章?lián)襁x其二十余幅石版畫和蝕刻版畫，展示達利如何將光影游戲、性符號、科學宗教圖像等元素把玩于股掌，也看他如何用精準的高超技能詮釋版畫工藝。"超越記憶的永恒"展覽將帶大家重溫達利在歷史上創(chuàng)造的重要時刻，主題即延伸自他最具代表性的作品"記憶的永恒"，以致敬一代藝術大師留下的佳作，更致敬他遠超僅僅留世的價值。
　　It took three cats thrust in a frame and doused in water 26 times to capture the grandiloquent personality of the man. Known for his interest in everything from art to science, performance to fashion, Salvador Dali was an artist enshrouded in oddity.
　　The first artist to consider the persona as an extension of the artist's work, Salvador Dali's life was a memorable one. Innovative in straddling the commercial and the academic, Dali's life work has unwittingly paved the way for artists such as Andy Warhol, Yayoi Kusama & Tracey Emmin. Despite the diversity of his practice, Dali's inauguration in paint remains one of the most important aspects of an eclectic practice.
　　To begin the New Year, Je Fine Art Space brings Persistence Beyond Memory, a celebration of the works which secured Dali's importance in art history. Named after his most iconic work, The Persistence of Memory, this exhibition celebrates Dali as an artist whose contribution to art history will continue well beyond living memory of the man.
　　 A selection of lithographs and etchings display the artists impressive technical ability and diversity of motifs. With excellent technical precision, Dali negotiates an alternate reality in print. Marrying optical games, erotic symbolism, science and religious iconography, Dali's works embrace the subconscious in weird and wonderful ways. Fabricating dreams in reality, Dali is considered one of the most famous surrealists, despite being a relative latecomer to the movement. He was originally invited to the group by Andre Bresson, but was later shunned by the group for his neutral political attitude during the Spanish civil war. It didn't stop the eccentric artist emphatically claiming, "you cannot remove me from surrealism, I am surrealism!"
