Salvador Dali's Alice in Wonderland

Dali’s incredible illustrations for Lewis Carroll’s “Alice in Wonderland” (published in 1865) have caused it to become one of the rarest and most sought-after Dali suites. With the original gouaches published by Maecenas Press-Random House, New York in 1969, the Suite now contains 12 heliogravures - one for each chapter of the book - and comes with 1 original signed etching in 4 colors as the frontpiece. This collaboration brings together arguably two of the most creative minds in Western culture, as both are considered ultimate explorers of dreams and imagination.

The originals of these works are open for public in the Espace Dali Museum in Paris, Montmartre - a very unusual and phantasmagoric place to visit, which I really recommend.

Little Ashes

If I'm going to be anything more than average, if anyone's going to remember me, then I need to go further in everything: in art, in life, in everything they think is real: morality, immorality, good, bad... I, we, have to smash that to pieces, we have to go beyond that, we have to be brave. No limits...
Salvador Dalí

I think this movie isn't for everyone. It's deeply emotional and dramatic, telling a complex and emotional story about Frederico Garcia Lorca and Salvador Dalí during their young years at the university when they embarked on conquering the world... It's about feelings, thoughts and passion experienced by the main characters - and their relationship during their university years (background of the plot).

This is an independent non-commercial motion picture which had extremely limited distribution, in only a small number of countries. It will never become too popular as it is totally different from movies with multi-million budgets, special effects and all the pop-culture... Movies like "Little Ashes" always stay beyond wide public attention, but honestly, it is better this way :)

"Cenicitas" (eng. 'little ashes') is the painting which inspired the movie title.

The passion of life, the heat, the good food, the colourful details...

Spanish, the huskily melodic language, is a perfect combination of beauty and emotion - it's worth to learn it for this reason alone! And then there are the olive groves, la siesta, the sleepy villages... the mountains and the beaches...

And of course all the cultural heritage - amazingly rich, but also quite unique - unrivalled and incomparable.
