From the Cliff of Creuse Cape, where Pyrenees fall into the sea, Dali’s childhood mythical place, his wife Gala writes this postcard to the Countess Anna Laetitia Pecci-Blunt, on behalf of the Catalan artist. They are in the peacefull and lovely Port Ligat, but before their departure they tried to reach her by phone without success and will try again when they will be back. Gala informs her that Dalì has the project of going to New York for his exposition, dated on 20 November in New York and after in other towns”. Dalì is always in a creative excitement, with more projects and in perpetual rise: he’s going to live the “ American dream ” .

Catalonia , both wealthy and proud, always had a special importance in Dalì’s cultural and visual development, and, for all his life, and was a source of inspiration . Port Ligat is where he chose to build his home (it was originally a fisherman’s shack) as an adult, together with Gala, his wife and his long-life companion and muse.
