    Dali art as mask?

    Dali started to repet himself and he became more a cirsus-man and trashy. The reason for his artistic decadence is probably a fact that Dali never wanted to confess his homosexual inclinations. The art became for him some kind of mask, so he could hide him from his fears and doubts about himself. The main role in this part of Dalis life was Dalis conection with poet Federico Garcia Lorca, he was killed in year 1936 by sympathisers of general Franco. Lorca was presumably very much in love in Salvador Dali, but Dali was even at the thougt about homosexuality totally schocked, so he rejected Lorca. If Dali confessed his love to Lorca, he would probably became even better artist.

    A huge credit in Dalis career life had his wife Gala. This Russian lady was his life companion, a maternal person and also his personal manager. She allways knew how to inspire him and successfully sell his artistic works, so Dali became one of the richest artist of that time. Through years their relationship became more and more strange. When Gala became old lady she loved that she was surrounded with younger men and lovers.

    Dali despised every body contact, he went back to village Ligat and he started to associate himself with lot of strange and doubtfoul people. Even now is unclear why Dali became friend with General Franco, because in his youth he was against him. Some experts think that Dali was allways attracted to dictators, because he had that kind of chaotic way of life, but dictators were to him a syboml for some kind of order. Some people think that Dali became friends with Franco only because he wanted in peace to consetrate in his art.
