Salvador Dali in Turkey

ANKARA - Anatolia News Agency

An exhibition featuring more than 100 works by peerless Spanish artist Salvador Dali attracted a record number of visitors to Ankara’s Cer Modern Center, according to the museum’s press relations manager.

“We expected to see lots of visitors, but the figures show that the interest is more than we expected,” said Sara Adıbelli. “Cer Modern has opened a new page in the cultural and artistic life of Ankara.”
Some 40,000 people came to the exhibition, with 2,500 people typically coming to see Dali’s work on weekends, she said.
“Many people, both young and old, visited the museum. This is such good news for us because we want a diverse visitor profile. Many visitors also came from other cities near Ankara, such as Kayseri, Mersin, Adana and Eskişehir.”
Many different people who had never come to a museum before traveled to see the Dali exhibition, Adıbelli said.
The traveling exhibition, which was previously in Istanbul, includes 121 lithographs and watercolors from Dali’s print series “The Divine Comedy,” “Traces of Surrealism” and “Dinner with Gala,” which critics regard as exemplary of his symbolist and surrealist style. The series consists of 100 prints, one print for each canto of Dante’s epic poem “Divine Comedy,” plus one cover print. “Traces of Surrealism” is made up of nine lithographic color printings that were made by Dali in Paris in 1971. The surreal atmosphere in the works provides images of a plastic universe that critics say makes it impossible to separate dream from reality. Dali’s main goal was to convert the everyday life to the home of “dream” in a sarcastic manner.
Dali’s “Dinner with Gala” series features 12 colored lithographs. Dali had wished to become a chef since childhood and finally realized this dream at the age of 68. This series includes the menus and recipes of legendary restaurants and chefs, as well as their surrealist gastro-aesthetics stories.
The exhibition started March 23 and ended late last month.

IndyCar driver Servia and his admiration for Salvador Dali

As you watch the Detroit Chevrolet Belle Isle Grand Prix this weekend, each of the drivers who compete in the IZOD IndyCar Series own distinctive paint schemes on their race cars, but there’s another way to tell them apart on race day – their helmet design. And when it comes to those designs, none tell stories like the ones that protect the head of Oriol Servia, driver of the No. 22 Chevrolet for Dreyer & Reinbold Racing.

Servia pays homage to his hero on his helmet, but it’s not who you would expect. The Spaniard is a huge fan of surrealist painter and countryman Salvador Dali (1904-89), and his helmet displays a depiction of Dali’s face. Read Rest of Story Here

At the time when Jacob and his family of seventy souls came to live in Egypt, Gad was the father of seven sons. When our Patriarch Jacob blessed his sons before his death (Gen. 49:19), he prophesied that the tribe of Gad will provide brave troops who will lead the children of Israel to victory in the conquest of the Promised Land, then return to their inheritance on the eastern side of the Jordan.25 3/4" x 20" on archival paper.

Salvador Dali Joan of Arc

“Joan of Arc”

Hand signed by Dali in 1978

22” x 30” on archival paper.

Lithograph with original remarque

Salvador Dali was a student of history and paid homage

to many historical figures.

Joan of Arc, nicknamed "The Maid of Orléans" is a national heroine of France and a Roman Catholic saint. A peasant girl born in what is now eastern France, who claimed divine guidance, she led the French army to several important victories during the Hundred Years' War, which paved the way for the coronation of Charles VII. She was captured by the Burgundians, transferred to the English in exchange for money, put on trial by the pro-English Bishop of Beauvais for charges of "insubordination and heterodoxy," and burned at the stake as a heretic when she was only 19 years old.

Twenty-five years after the execution, an Inquisitorial court authorized by Pope Callixtus III examined the trial, pronounced her innocent and declared her a martyr. Joan of Arc was beatified in 1909 and canonized in 1920. She is – along with St. Denis, St. Martin of Tours, St. Louis IX, and St. Theresa of Lisieux – one of the patron saints of France. Joan said that she had visions from God that instructed her to recover her homeland from English domination late in the Hundred Years' War. The uncrowned King Charles VII sent her to the siege of Orléans as part of a relief mission. She gained prominence when she overcame the dismissive attitude of veteran commanders and lifted the siege in only nine days. Several more swift victories led to Charles VII's coronation at Reims and settled the disputed succession to the throne.
