The weird marriage between Gala and Salvador Dali, Collaborative Couples - Art History Storytime

[@hieronymousmiller7835]

Great story and well told. I love how your witty humor sneaks in for the quickest moments, adding interest and alternate light to the artists.

[@arthistorystorytime]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@adrianjohnson7920]

An eloquent and sophisticated analysis of a complicated relationship. Most satisfying. Thank you --.

[@arthistorystorytime]

Much appreciated, glad you enjoyed! 😊

[@kmm2442]

Very enjoyable.

[@alchemytree]

If forced to choose, my favourite visual artist for sure… and you have a gift both in your writing and reading narration 💯

Dali *suffered* from the imagination that he was *only a replacement* of his dead brother.

[@SM-rq4pr]

Yes and no. While it’s true that Dalí was born shortly after the death of his older brother, which gave him a deep-seated complex about his identity, he didn’t simply see himself as a replacement. Instead, this sense of being ‘second’ drove him to assert his individuality and originality, leading to the extravagant and flamboyant persona he’s known for today.

[@evasaporito5275]

I throughly enjoyed your presentation. Brilliant!

[@theco-conspiriters]

I’m about to binge listen to all your videos!! Just found you and really needed this learning while curating a collection!! Brilliant!!!!

[@Phoked]

Thanks for the video, you have a very clear and professional means of presentation. I'm a fine art framer and get to work with a variety of artists' works, Dali's portfolios are undoubtedly my favorite to frame. I've always been fascinated with his life and dynamic with Gala, so thanks again for making this video for others to learn

[@arthistorystorytime]

My pleasure!

People fall in love when their respective neurosis perfectly overlap.

[@lela7439]

I live about an hour from Galla's castle (which I recently visited) and their house on the coast, half an hour from the Dali Museum, everything is really beautiful...hello from Catalonia

[@arthistorystorytime]

@@lela7439 oooh! I’d love to visit one day! 😍

[@lela7439]

@arthistorystorytime you must visit this part of Spain, so much art and history is here...

[@eddiebeato5546]

Stephanie! This is a topnotch documentary! Thanks for posting!

[@arthistorystorytime]

Thank YOU for watching!

You appear to be a wonderful guide.

"Jagged edges" ... nice summary.

WoW ! excellent work ❤

[@iwantedtosayhello]

You are a great story teller, and I love art history 😊

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy.

[@nortey60]

You’ve sparked such an intense interest in art in me. Thank you

[@arthistorystorytime]

I'm so glad!

Couple’s reflect off on each other. Look at our parents and coupling friends. Dali and gala were both pretty intense and sexually crazed as well as determined and manipulative. It made sense why they attracted each other. Not to mention their dark sides as well.

[@arthistorystorytime]

This is so true. We’re all mirrors of each other in a way and to some degree. But romantic relationships tend to REALLY show us deeper parts of ourselves from the other persons reflection. Very interesting. I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment 🥰

[@raulguadalupe3489]

I just discovered your channel, and I absolutely love it!

Thank you Stephanie. It was very interesting.🙏

[@arthistorystorytime]

Glad you found it interesting. I appreciate you!

[@adytech5788]

Unfortunately, for reasons that remain unclear and contrary to the wishes of Dali and Gala, Salvador Dali's burial site is situated within the "Theater Museum" instead of the Gala castle. This is a source of great sadness...

[@arthistorystorytime]

Yes! This is a shame they went against his wishes.

[@Alpha-Andromeda]

Well… Perhaps Gala left a note saying “definitely don’t bury us together” … 😉 By the end Gala was very supportive of his work 💰💰💰 but she had grown tired of him

[@georgiemerry8929]

Such a good video!!

Art-world boils down to Borderliner women and Narcissistic men. Toxic people/relationships and the art and artist worshipper (literally as religion)mostly middle class and up western people - circle jerking around the spectacles for measurement of their own identity or intellect. Art as a paradigm , a frame from within to view the world, never truly daring to truly dwell in their own mind and go beyond frames of reality/realities. Yet thinking or convening themselves they are true 'open minded' people and praise themselves and each other for this. I thank the maker of this vi in this vid at least for not being the typical one sided biased viewer that need to put the aryist on a pedestal where her or she is without faults or blame.

[@arthistorystorytime]

I hear ya, it can be circle jerk-y lol. I like to try to remember that we’re all flawed human beings. Pedestals would take away from our humanity.

[@sunshineandstarlight]

That was just like me and my house.

[@arts3135]

i am listening to your voice and getting lost in your face

[@oligreen1192]

Gala - true Russian muse. Just like Lilia Brick. Magnificent women.

Bomb, subscribed asf

[@andrewjohnstone963]

Gala was a succubus end of Bunuel should have strangled her when he had the chance At first prolific but as the years rolled on repetitive nonsense And remember when he and gala visited a museum he was so overcome by lust he took gala into the corridor and sodemised her Attention seekers Better and more surrealist painters Dorathea Tanning Max Ernst amongst them Your reading stuff like out a book 📖

[@arthistorystorytime]

lol sounds hot. Sure! I like those surrealist artists too, was reading about Ernst not too long ago. And I’m reading a script I have written with my hands and brain from a teleprompter.

[@andrewjohnstone963]

@arthistorystorytime it's like being in primary school As I didnt fawn over your text like the other sheep I dont get a badge Incredibly childish notion anyway As Bunuel would have said Fake modernism from Fake people

[@yonofuiprod]

your videos would be way nicer if you add more images and videos! just an advice

[@Luisventuralaw]

Nice video. dah-LEE, please. Not DAH-lee.

[@outofoblivionproductions4015]

Dali apparently fell over in New York late in life, and the fall triggered an epiphany for him. He realised his art up to that point was rubbish. He disowned it, and Dali became a Christian. He painted Jesus on the cross, in space, looking down on the world. This is probably why the Vatican is exhibiting Dali soon.

D was Catalan not Spanish.

[@arthistorystorytime]

At the time when making this, I realized there was a cultural difference but knew it as if it were all under the umbrella of Spain. But now this has sent me into a Catalan, Andalusian, Basque, Spain rabbit hole, and I'm just amazed at the variety in language and culture that I previously knew as just "Spain". So THANK YOU dear commenter! I appreciate you.

[@operator1717]

@@arthistorystorytime anytime. It’s an easy mistake to make; and sadly wiki doesn’t make it clear. I blame Franco! I had an elderly student who came from the other family of notaries in Figueras, they knew the Dalis well. Although not particularly wealthy he had a small Dali seascape from the early twenties that had been given to him by the family. My student had been an anarchist in Barcelona in the sixties and seventies and had lived quite a colourful life himself!

[@arthistorystorytime]

@@operator1717 So interesting!

[@SenChandan]

Artists in general are strange fringe people who are sometimes monogamous, as Dali was. Their extreme behavior is somewhat off putting
