Salvador Dall: The Empord Triangle

The Empord triangle, like its notorious sister the Bermuda Triangle, outlines a space where unusual things happen. In this case, that space is the land surrounding three major landmarks of Salvador Dalu's life: his house at Port Lligat, its front door guarded by a stuffed bear; the castle of Pbol, where he lived in his old age and where his wife Gala is buried; and the Dalu Theatre-Museum of Figueres, where he himself is buried. Some of these landscapes and buildings recur in Dalu's work, and each of the buildings constitutes a work in itself. Enticing, wide, glossy landscape photographs throughout The Empord Triangle constitute a tour of these three centers of Dal'nian experience.
