"Никой не знае колко пътува пътечката до своята височина." Навярно само авторката знае колко е пътувала нейната пътечка, за да достигне висината, с която ни дарява нейната богата, красива и добротворна поезия. Поезия, събрала цял един свят и цял един живот. Кръговратът на годините в своята изменчивост и в своето постоянство се разгръща пред нас в една богата, наситена с топли багри палитра. С овладяно поетично майсторство авторката рисува невероятните пейзажи на детството и на родната земя, топлия дъх на началото, зреещото семе, дървото, което се ражда от космическото усилие, а след това, топло и осезаемо, се ... |

At the age of six, Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) wanted to be a cook. At the age of seven, he wanted to be Napoleon. "Since then", he later said, "my ambition has steadily grown, and my megalomania with it. Now I want only to be Salvador Dali, I have no greater wish".

Painter, sculptor, writer, film-maker, and all-round showman Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) was one of the twentieth century’s greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics. One of the first artists to apply the insights of Freudian psychoanalysis to art, he is celebrated in particular for his surrealist practice, with such conceits as the soft watches or the lobster telephone, now hallmarks of the surrealist enterprise, and of modernism in general. Dali frequently described his paintings as "hand-painted dream photographs". Their tantalizing tension and interest resides in the precise rendering of bizarre elements and ... |
