Has Salvador Dali had a renaissance since the TV show Money Heist?





TV shows these days are becoming an art form much like the brilliance of cinema and Netflix is one of the leading names to help make TV shows feel like the art form they truly are. One of the standout shows that has created a popular culture storm is Money Heist or La casa de papel to give it its true name.

The premise of the show

In the show, the resistance fighters decide to steal from the Royal Mint in Spain and when that went to plan…just they decided that the Bank of Spain was next on the agenda! I think it might have been easier to jump on www.tradingforexsites.com and make a great fortune that way.

In the show though, to confuse the police they don masks of the amazing Salvador Dali and it works to great effect. You can even see in the show that people start wearing the maks of Dali to be like the thieves who they see as resistance fighters fighting against the establishment who have all of their money.

Why Dali?

With the show set in Spain, Dali is still a big deal in Spain and is one of the most recognisable faces with his pencil-thin curling moustache standing out a mile off. However, having lived through the Spanish Civil War, Dali was not one for conforming and he was seen as a rebel amongst Spain and his work was appreciated by those that did not agree with authority. Much like adoring fans of the TV show.

In Spain, the surrealist painter is seen as a rebellious painter and one who did not need to play by the rules.

What about Dali’s work makes him popular?

After the First World War, surrealism was very popular in the art world and Dali was a leading figure of this as his work explored ideas that were not conventional and explored ideas of the subconscious. These ideas stuck with the rebellious members of a Spain run by General Franco from 1939.

The themes that Dali explored were dreams, sexuality, subconscious, faith, science and many more that spoke to many people in many different ways.

What is Dali’s best work?

This is obviously subjective and it depends of what type of surrealist work you like by Dali. There is a whole host to choose from such as Cabaret Scene (1922), The Accommodations of Desire (1929), L'Age d'Or (1930), Lobster Telephone (1936), Printemps Necrophilique (1936), Mae West Lips Sofa (1937) or Portrait of Pablo Picasso in the Twenty-first Century (1947).

However, The Persistence of Memory (1931) is considered to be his best work. If you said to people that were not sure of Dali’s work melting clocks then they would immediately know which painting you meant.

Has Dali had a renaissance?

This is hard to say given the fact that Dali is still very popular in his native Spain but there is certainly an argument to say that a new generation will be interested in the surrealist painter since Money Heist and a generation that may never have heard of Dali if it was not for the masks worn by the gang inside the Royal Mint.
