In the life of Salvador Dalí
The whole life1948–1989
Travel: Spain
1949
An audience with Pope Pius XII
Dalí showed Pope Pius XII a study for “The Madonna of Port Lligat” at an audience arranged to discuss his marriage to Gala. The work heralded the phase he called “Nuclear Mysticism”, a fusion of Einsteinian physics, classicism and Catholic mysticism.
December 1949
His sister's book and a break with his family
His sister Anna Maria published her book “Salvador Dalí Seen by His Sister”; angered by passages he considered derogatory to Gala, Dalí broke off relations with his family.
September 1950
His father's death and near-disinheritance
When his father died, Dalí learned that he had been virtually disinherited in his will. A two-year legal dispute followed over paintings and drawings left in the family home, during which Dalí was accused of assaulting a notary.
