In August 1929, Dali met the love of his life: Elena Ivanovna Diakonova, better known as Gala. Unfortunately, Gala was already married to the French surrealist poet Paul Eluard. Dali wasn't discouraged: "She was destined to be my Gradiva, the one who moves forward, my victory, my wife." Since Gala and Eluard had what we might now term an "open marriage" - they had previously spent three years in a menage a trois with the artist Max Ernst - there was little to impede her relationship with Dali. After divorcing Eluard (although they apparently continued a sexual relationship), Gala married Dali in 1934. They would remain together until her death in 1982. Salvador: Savior Dali:
Salvador (meaning "saviour" in Catalan, Spanish, and Portuguese) is normally an indirect way of naming a Messiah.
Meaning of Dali: Name Dali in the Spanish origin, means Drawn towards God.
Dali's father taught dali about venereal disease with pictures and articles what ensued was a fear of sex and vaginal contact. This painting was made to tell his wife Gala she could have sex with other men.
See the original too.
