The curriculum artistic Matt Lamb is atypical, marked by a strange destiny. Heir to a great family business of funeral directors, the American designer was suffering from a disease that would change his life in a fundamental way. Following aggravated mononucleosis hepatitis liver, a diagnosis made by radical medicine gave him a chance to survive for two to four years. In 1986, Lamb decided to sell her burial society to turn to art. The purpose of this curious personal choice was to spend the little time remaining to paint a moving message of peace, hope and love. But the pessimistic medical diagnosis proved wrong. Matt Lamb survived and passionately pursued his artistic self-taught talent developing around the world a vast network of workshops, studios and foundations dedicated to creativity. The European Dali seduced America, the American Lamb has conquered Europe. 

Hand of God 

The paranoiac-critical path of Salvador Dali as the miraculous cure of Matt Lamb phenomena are indicative of Divine Providence. There is no doubt. The chronological-tion of these two exceptional artists confirm the fascinating realities of their respective careers. Salvador Dalí was born in the small Spanish town of Figueres May 11, 2004, feast day of St. Estelle (Stella). He was predestined to make a career as a star (estrella "in Spanish). Matt Lamb was born in Chicago April 7, 1932. The date is significant. According to some historians, April 7 is the historic day of the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ. This metaphysical relation is corroborated by a total solar eclipse, which occurred April 7 to 33 years. The specific situation of Matt Lamb looks like an act supernaturally, in the shape of a devastating diagnosis before evolving into an amazing resurrection. The spiritual relationship is evident, probably intended by the Holy Spirit. We can not ignore the work of Dali's painting is deeply mystical and the renewing action of Lamb shows real religious dimension, as evidenced by the decoration of the chapel "Regina Pacis" in Tünsdorf (Germany). 
  

Here's another troubling relationship. Since the 1970s, the prophetic work of Salvador Dali has shown repeatedly the destruction of the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The terrorist attacks in New York took place on day of September 11, 2001, which corresponds to the "diada" National Day of the Catalans. The coincidence is strange, as also the fact that the figure corresponds to the 911 number to call for emergency assistance from the United States. Should we see the hand of God in this scenario diabolical What is certain, the tragic events in New York have inspired Matt Lamb fantastic project "Umbrellas for Peace. 38 orphans at the World Trade Center were met in Washington DC in a workshop original. Traumatized children were invited to express their feelings in color on the canvas umbrellas offered by Matt Lamb before marching with umbrellas to Capitol Hill. Successful, the initiative of "Lamb Umbrellas for Peace" was extended to Europe, where hundreds of thousands of children have already been able to color their view of peace. 

Matt Lamb is a man of imagination, as was Salvador Dalí. The brilliant surrealist Catalan defend-of during his distinguished career with higher values of representational art and imagination, inherited from old masters Jheronimus Bosch, Raphael, Velasquez and Vermeer. Salvador himself as the savior of the great painterly cruelly attacking representatives of modern art like Mondrian, Picasso and Bernard Buffet, which he denounced the frenzy of ugliness. Until the end, Dali remained true to his aesthetic principles, resolutely opposed to the harmful excesses of so-called "contemporary art". At a time when the global market is dominated by cultural marketing based essentially on financial speculation and gigantism flashy facilities without cultural content, Matt Lamb has created a personal style of rare originality. 

The Art of Matt Lamb installment on facilities abstract contemporary art. His paintings are mainly figurative, close to abstract expressionism of Willem de Kooning. Through their expressive power, the composition of the American painter recall the bold "Cree" revolt of the Norwegian Edvard Munch and exorcism painting by Marc Chagalll against the rise of fascism. Beyond the conceptual freedom of the prolific artist who created over 4,000 works, the merit of Matt Lamb is that rare to have succeeded in giving his art a popular extended useful, focusing on the struggle for peace. In this humanitarian aspect, Lamb was a pioneer. Dali was a painter messianic bearer of a divine message, announcing a better world, built on creativity and vitality of liberating women. By pragmatism's cultural action, Matt Lamb shows the way to sensitize the people around mobilizing projects focused on love and peace. 

The alchemy of Artístic Reial Club Barcelona 

The luminous meeting Matt Lamb with the work of surrealist Salvador Dalí was held at the Reial Cercle Artístic Barcelona. Founded in 1881, the venerable Art Institute has a rich past presti-gious, built on innovative initiatives and famous painters such as Rusinol, Casas, silt and Miró, The influence of the royal circle on the cultural life and Social Barcelona is considered a tradi-tional reality of the Catalan culture. Today, a huge collection of Dali 700 pieces (sculptures, watercolors, engravings and photographs) is the artistic treasure the most spectacular of the prestigious Museum of Barcelona, which is advantageously located in the historic heart of the Mediterranean metropolis. 

At the beginning of 3rd Millennium, the institution found a new cultural influence under the action of the dynamic young president Josep Fèlix Bentz, who put on track a winning strategy in international influence. The exhibition Dalí-Lamb of summer 2009 is a concrete illustration of the new political and cultural Institute of Art in Barcelona. For fall, the Reial Cercle Artístic announces another ambitious event on the theme of "Peace". Prepared with the active movement renovascular vative "The Heirs of Dalí," the operation IPax2009 (International Peace Art exhibition) will submit to September 50 works original, created by the finest painters fantastic throughout Europe. The famous "Book of the Apocalypse" Dalí will be centered event emblematic. 

With the exhibition Dali-Lamb, the lead role of Reial Cercle Artístic produced an appointment artistic significance. Through the presentation of the International Exhibition for Peace, the museum Catalan confirms its alchemy. Art and culture are made to reunite the creative minds and fascinate people. With Salvador Dalí, Matt Lamb and their ambitious successors, quality paint will return to its fundamental vocation, both humanistic and spiritual, structured around a concern for beauty irresistible ■
