It is a boundless exhibition spread over 4000 square metres, with over 200 works that offer a complete cross-section of the Spanish artist's incredibly varied output. He was in turn impressionist, metaphysician, cubist, surrealist, and a rolling stone with prophetic intuition that ranged from pop art conceptions to kitsch and to transcendental and mystical works triggered off by the Paranoiac Critic Method. Dalì seems to represent painting in all its developments, from his garnering of the light of Piero della Francesca to his competing with the Masters of the history of art: Leonardo, Velasquez, Raffaello, Meisonnier, Vermeer, right up to contemporaries like Picasso. A life that was complex, continually seeking a superior identity; it could be said, it was only completed bythe ever-present and inseparable figure of Gala, his wife.
