Luisa Villavicencio Aliaga | Visual Artist / Art Therapist

The Barbizon school of painters

The Barbizon school was active roughly from 1830-1870.

It takes its name from the village of Barbizon, France, near the Forest of Fontainebleau, where many of the artists gathered. Some of the most prominent features of this school are its tonal qualities, color, loose brushwork, and softness of form.

Salvador Dalí | Personality

Dalí was renowned for his eccentric and ostentatious behavior throughout his career.

In 1941, the Director of Exhibitions and Publications at MoMA wrote: "The fame of Salvador Dalí has been an issue of particular controversy for more than a decade...Dalí's conduct may have been undignified, but the greater part of his art is a matter of dead earnest".

When Dalí was elected to the French Academy of Fine Arts in 1979, one of his fellow academicians stated that he hoped Dalí would now abandon his "clowneries".

In 1936, at the premiere screening of Joseph Cornell's film Rose Hobart at Julien Levy's gallery in New York City, Dalí knocked over the projector in a rage.

"My idea for a film is exactly that", he said shortly afterward, "I never wrote it down or told anyone, but it is as if he had stolen it!"
