Venus is a Roman goddess principally associated with love, beauty, sex, seduction and fertility, who played a key role in many Roman religious festivals and myths. From the third century BC, the increasing Hellenization of Roman upper classes identified her as the equivalent of the Greek goddess Aphrodite. Roman mythology made her the divine mother of Aeneas, the Trojan ancestor of Rome's founder, Romulus.

The Venus in Furs is a novel (erotic masochism) by Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, published in 1870.

Salvador Dali Sewing Machine from Homage to Leonardo Da Vinci

Salvador Dali paid homage to the great inventors by creating a series of original hand colored etchings in 1975. The suite was titled "Homage to Leonardo Da Vinci (Great Inventions)", but the works in the suite were no limited to inventions of Da Vinci's era. Dali paid homage to the inventors of not only the sewing machine, but also the telephone, airplane, automobile, computer circut, hydrolic brake, petrolium, telegraph, light bulb, rocket, harvester, linotype etc.

"Sewing Machine"

Hand signed by Dali in 1975

Limited edition hand signed etching. Hand colored.

22" x 30" on Archival paper.

In 1834, Walter Hunt built America's first (somewhat) successful sewing machine. He later lost interest in patenting because he believed his invention would cause unemployment. (Hunt's machine could only sew straight steams.) Hunt never patented and in 1846, the first American patent was issued to Elias Howe for "a process that used thread from two different sources."

Sewing machines did not go into mass production until the 1850's, when Isaac Singer built the first commercially successful machine. Singer built the first sewing machine where the needle moved up and down rather than the side-to-side and the needle was powered by a foot treadle.

Andy Warhol

Andrew Warhola, Jr. (August 6, 1928 – February 22, 1987), known as Andy Warhol, was an American painter, printmaker, and filmmaker who was a leading figure in the visual art movement known as pop art. After a successful career as a commercial illustrator, Warhol became famous worldwide for his work as a painter, avant-garde filmmaker, record producer, author, and member of highly diverse social circles that included Bohemian street people, distinguished intellectuals, Hollywood celebrities and wealthy patrons.

Warhol has been the subject of numerous retrospective exhibitions, books, and feature and documentary films. He coined the widely used expression "15 minutes of fame." In his hometown of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, The Andy Warhol Museum exists in memory of his life and artwork.

The highest price ever paid for a Warhol painting is US$100 million for a 1963 canvas titled Eight Elvises. The private transaction was reported in a 2009 article in The Economist, which described Warhol as the "bellwether of the art market." $100 million is a benchmark price that only Jackson Pollock, Pablo Picasso, Vincent van Gogh, Pierre-August Renoir, Gustav Klimt and Willem de Kooning have achieved.



Salvador Dali Telephone Lobster

Hand signed by Dali in 1975

Hand colored original etching with aquatint color.

22" x 30" on Arches paper.

Pencil numbered lower left corner.

This work is part of a series that pays hommage to great inventions.

Notice the line from the mouth of the model to the telephone in the distance.

Origin and inspiration:

Lobster Telephone (also known as Aphrodisiac Telephone) is a surrealist object, created by Salvador Dalí in 1936 with surrealist artist and patron Edward James. Dalí wrote of lobsters and telephones in some of his books. In one reference Dali demanding to know why, when he asked for a grilled lobster in a restaurant, he was never presented with a boiled telephone.

The TATE MUSEUM owns one of the original sculptures of this subject.

History:

Inspired by Dalí, Edward James proceeded in the 1930s to turn his country manor into a fantasy palace filled with every kind of strange and exotic object. As well as placing three of Dalí's sofas in the shape of Mae West's lips into his living quarters, James asked Dalí to 'make-over' his telephones as well. Dali suggested that James fill his rooms with what he called 'The surrealist object - one that is absolutely useless from the practical and rational point of view, created wholly for the purpose of materialising in a fetishistic way, with the maximum of tangible reality, ideas and fantasies having a delirious character.' He then conceived a truly unforgettable object, his irresistibly playful lobster perched atop a phone, which was also called the Aphrodisiac telephone at the time, a title in keeping with Dalí's wicked sense of humour and desire to baffle his public completely.

Dalí's Lobster telephone was not 'absolutely useless', however, but was in fact a perfectly functioning telephone. Edward James purchased four Lobster telephones from Dalí, with which he replaced all the original phones in his country retreat. One of these (a partial reconstruction) is now in the collection of the Tate Gallery, London;

The use of the crutch to hold up heavy objects or elongated body parts is seen throughout Dali's works. Dali quote: "I imagine sleep as a heavy monster that was "held up by the crutches of reality".

LADY GAGA BORROWED THIS IDEA FROM DALI AND HIS WIFE GALA.

Salvador Dali and Andy Warhol

Interview by Sarah Phillips

guardian.co.uk, Sunday 23 October 2011

I was working for Condé Nast and Mademoiselle magazine in New York and had a reportage way of shooting, even for fashion. It caught Andy Warhol's eye; he wanted someone to tag along to parties or to photograph him making silkscreens and movies, capturing his daily life.

For a 24-year-old Englishman, hanging out at the Factory was mind-blowing. I had no idea people lived this way; any time of the day or night, there would be something wild going on. I couldn't afford to get too whacked because I had to stay focused for my work, so I just observed. And a lot of what happened I couldn't photograph: there was no way you could publish those kind of pictures.
On this particular occasion, in the winter of 1964-65, I got a call saying we were to meet at the St Regis hotel: we were going to visit Salvador Dalí, my hero. I was thrilled. When we arrived at his suite, Dalí beckoned us in with a cane and no one spoke; opera music was playing so loudly that the room was vibrating. He grabbed Andy by the arm and plonked him in a chair, pointed at me to get my camera ready, then grabbed a huge Inca headdress, dramatically placing it on Andy's head.
It was pure theatre. Dalí was making Andy so nervous – which was unusual: it was usually him who made other people tongue-tied – that he was guzzling back wine. I'd never even seen him drink before. He kept looking as if he was ready to bolt for the door, and then finally he said: "David, we've gotta go."
There is nothing manufactured about the picture: things happened so fast it was almost like being a war photographer. We were there for no more than five minutes, and we never discussed the experience afterwards. That wasn't Andy's style, and I think he was genuinely shocked by the meeting. Suddenly the table had been turned and it was no longer me photographing Warhol, it was Dalí with Warhol.

Salvador Dali in Switerland Surrealism exhibit

The Fondation Beyeler is devoting the first-ever comprehensive exhibition in Switzerland to Surrealism in Paris.
On view will be major works by artists such as Salvador Dalí, René Magritte, Joan Miró, and many more who either belonged to the movement or were associated with it. Surrealism was one of the most crucial artistic and literary movements of the twentieth century and had a lasting influence on it. After emerging in Paris in 1924, the movement unfolded a worldwide impact. Influenced by the writings of Sigmund Freud and under the leadership of its chief theoretician, André Breton, the Surrealists set out to change life and society by means of a new brand of art and poetry. Tapping the unconscious mind and world of dreams was to trigger an entirely unprecedented kind of creativity. "Dalí, Magritte, Miró – Surrealism in Paris" comprises about 290 masterworks and manuscripts by about 40 artists and authors.
The highlights will include a presentation of the legendary Surrealist private collections amassed by Peggy Guggenheim and by Breton’s first wife Simone Collinet. In addition to famous paintings and sculptures, objects, photographs, drawings, manuscripts, jewelry and films await discovery.
The loans to the exhibition stem from renowned private collections and public museums, in Europe and the United States.

Salvador Dali MOMA

Dalí was a New York City cultural fixture in the 1960s. When in town he resided with his wife Gala at the St. Regis Hotel, just a block away from MoMA, and was often seen dashing about from one fabulous appointment to another. Before arriving in New York in 1934, Dalí professed an uncanny familiarity with the city; this was the case as his knowledge of New York was from its numerous cinematic portrayals and not firsthand experience. Dalí sat for two Warhol Screen Tests, both made in 1966. The first (ST67) is often called Upside Down Dalí, as the 3.7-minute short was filmed with the camera upside down. Callie Angell notes he “gives a typically surreal performance” by staring imperiously and playing with a small, sequined evening bag. He even taps the bag against his cheek as if keeping rhythm with some offscreen music.

Subject: Greek Mythology

ARGOS (Argus) PANOPTES was a hundred-eyed giant who lived in the region of Argolis in the Peloponnese.

Once when Zeus was consorting with the Nymph Io, his wife Hera arrived on the scene. The god quickly transformed his lover into a white heifer, but the goddess was not deceived. She demanded the animal for a gift and set Argos Panoptes as its guard.

Zeus sent Hermes to surreptitiously rescue his lover. The god first tried to lull the giant to sleep with his music, but failing that, slew him with his sword. It was from this endeavour that he earned his familiar title Argeiphontes (literally "the slayer of Argos").

Hera rewarded Argos for his service by placing his hundred eyes on the tail of her sacred bird, the peacock.

Salvador Dali Alfred Hitchcock Spellbound

Alfred Hitchcock wanted Salvador Dali to create a dream sequence for his 1940's film "Spellbound" with Gregory Peck and Ingrid Bergman. Hitchcock felt that Dali was the only one who understood that dreams were not properly represented in films because in those days directors and special effects people would depict dreams in a fog or haze and use lense filters to blur the edges of the scene. Hitchcock wanted sharp edges and long shadows, Dali was the perfect man for the job and was hired to create the now famous dream sequence.

Alice Cooper and Salvador Dali

Alice Cooper was asked by Laura Barnett:

What's your favorite museum?

The Salvador Dalí museum in Figueres, Spain. Five of the original band members were art majors, and we worshipped Dalí: we thought of ourselves as surrealists. I worked with Dalí for four days in New York in 1974. He did a sculpture of my brain. It's a brain with a chocolate eclair running down the back, and ants climbing all over it and spelling out "Dalí and Alice".

Salvador Dali in Singapore

Singapore’s ArtScience Museum

“Dali: Mind of a Genius,” ongoing until Oct. 30, which boasts over 250 works by the Spanish Surrealist.
It includes furniture, jewelry, sculptures and paintings. Most of them are iconic: the lipstick-red “Mae West Lips Sofa,” inspired by the Hollywood actress; “Dance of Time,” his melted clocks; and “Spellbound,” a painting as large as a double-decker bus, which appeared in Alfred Hitchcock’s movie.
Both the Van Gogh and Dali shows are traveling exhibitions. The museum has its own small permanent collection—housed in three galleries on the top floor, called Curiosity, Inspiration and Expression—which contain interactive works that argues the connection between art and science.
