Youngest daughter of Felipa Dom\u00e8nech and Salvador Dal\u00ed. Sister of Salvador Dal\u00ed<\/a>, whom she modeled for in several of his paintings, and friend of some of his friends, such as Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca, with whom she maintained a close friendship, as is shown by her correspondence donated to the Federico Garc\u00eda Lorca Research Center<\/a>. In the missives Anna Maria recalls that the poet “was obsessed by a great fear of death. If we went somewhere and there was a white calm, the sight of the bottom made him dizzy: it seemed to him that we were flying and would have to fall. If there was a swell, he feared that the waves would come over and engulf us. He only felt no fear of death on Sundays, at mass, when he saw eternal life.<\/p>\n

Anna Mar\u00eda was a teenager in 1925 but Lorca’s personality captivated her. Lorca, equally captivated, responded to her letters from Granada with confidences.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

During Lorca’s first visit to Cadaqu\u00e9s in 1925, the poet and playwright read his last finished work, Mariana Pineda<\/em><\/a>, to the entire Dal\u00ed family, including his younger sister, who was 17 years old. There were several readings: first at the house in Cadaqu\u00e9s, later at the notary’s office of Dal\u00ed’s father, and finally at the Barcelona Athenaeum. Anna Mar\u00eda was a teenager in 1925, but Lorca’s personality subjugated her. Lorca, equally captivated, responded to her letters from Granada with confidences: “Here there is an incredible amount of historical melancholy that reminds me of that fair and neutral atmosphere of your terrace, where sometimes the Lydia [Lydia de Cadaqu\u00e9s, the singular character in love with the writer Eugenio D’Ors] puts a dash of strong pepper that makes the visible grace of the air stand out even more”.<\/p>\n

The friendship between the two grew during the four months of the poet’s second visit to Catalonia in 1927, during which he finally premiered Mariana Pineda<\/em> at the Goya Theater.<\/p>\n

At the beginning of the Civil War she was arrested and imprisoned on charges of espionage by Republican soldiers in the rearguard who were fleeing to France. She was imprisoned for 17 days, assaulted and raped. <\/strong> Although she did not consider herself a writer, she published four books about Cadaqu\u00e9s and her brother: Tot l’any a Cadaqu\u00e9s (All year long in Cadaqu\u00e9s), Des de Cadaqu\u00e9s (From Cadaqu\u00e9s), Miratges de Cadaqu\u00e9s (Mirages of Cadaqu\u00e9s)<\/em> and Salvador Dal\u00ed seen by his sister Anna Maria Dal\u00ed,<\/em> in response to her brother’s autobiography.<\/p>\n

She died in Cadaqu\u00e9s in 1989.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
