Amanda Lear
Amanda Lear (French pronunciation: [amɑ̃da liʁ]; née Tap or Tapp) is a French singer, songwriter, painter, television presenter, actress and former model.
She began her professional career as a fashion model in the mid-1960s and went on to model for Paco Rabanne, Ossie Clark and others. She met Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dalí and remained his closest friend and muse for almost 20 years. Lear first came into the public eye as the cover model for Roxy Music's album For Your Pleasure in 1973. From the mid-1970s to the early 1980s, she was a million-album-selling disco star signed to Ariola Records, primarily impacting continental Europe and Scandinavia. Lear's first four albums earned her mainstream popularity, charting in the top 10 of European charts, including the best-selling Sweet Revenge (1978). Her bigger hits included "Blood and Honey", "Tomorrow", "Queen of Chinatown", "Follow Me", "Enigma (Give a Bit of Mmh to Me)", "The Sphinx", and "Fashion Pack".
By the mid-1980s, Lear had become a leading media personality in Italy, hosting many popular TV shows. Although television took priority over musical activity, she continued to record, experimenting with different genres and trying to revive her career by re-recording and remixing earlier hits to various levels of success. Lear has also developed a successful career in painting, which she has long described as her biggest passion, and regularly exhibited her works in galleries across Europe and beyond since the early 1980s. She has also written a number of books, including My Life with Dalí.
Since the 1990s, her time has been divided among music, television, movies and painting. Despite regular album releases, she failed to achieve major success in the charts with her music, but her television career has remained stellar and she has hosted numerous primetime TV shows, mostly in Italy and France, occasionally making guest appearances in TV series. She has performed acting and dubbing roles in independent as well as in major film productions. In the late 2000s, Lear reinvented herself as a theatrical actress, performing in long-running stage plays in France. To date, she allegedly has sold over 27 million records worldwide. Lear is also a widely recognized gay icon.

Salvador Dalí (Salvador Dalí i Domènech), marquis de Dalí de Púbol, né à Figueras le et mort dans la même ville le , est un peintre, sculpteur, graveur, scénariste et écrivain espagnol. Il est considéré comme l'un des principaux représentants du surréalisme, et comme l'un des plus célèbres peintres du XXe siècle.
Influencé très jeune par l'impressionnisme, il quitta Figueras pour recevoir une éducation artistique académique à Madrid où il se lia d'amitié avec Federico García Lorca et Luis Buñuel et chercha son style entre différents mouvements artistiques. Sur les conseils de Joan Miró, il rejoignit Paris à l'issue de ses études et intégra le groupe des surréalistes, où il rencontra son épouse Gala. Il trouva son propre style à partir de 1929, année où il devint surréaliste à part entière et inventa la méthode paranoïaque-critique. Exclu de ce groupe quelques années après, il vécut la guerre d'Espagne en exil en Europe, avant de quitter la France en guerre pour New York, où il résida huit ans et où il fit fortune. À son retour en Catalogne, en 1949, il opéra un virage vers le catholicisme, se rapprocha de la peinture de la Renaissance et s’inspira des évolutions scientifiques de son temps pour faire évoluer son style vers ce qu'il nomma « mysticisme corpusculaire ».
Les thèmes qu'il aborda le plus fréquemment furent le rêve, la sexualité, la nourriture, son épouse Gala et la religion. La Persistance de la mémoire est l'une de ses toiles surréalistes les plus célèbres, le Christ de saint Jean de la Croix est l'une de ses principales œuvres à motif religieux. Artiste très imaginatif, il manifestait une tendance notable au narcissisme et à la mégalomanie qui lui permettaient de retenir l'attention publique, mais irritaient une partie du monde de l'art, qui voyait dans ce comportement une forme de publicité qui dépassait parfois son œuvre. Deux musées lui furent dédiés de son vivant, le Salvador Dali Museum et le théâtre-musée Dalí. Dalí créa lui-même le second, comme une œuvre surréaliste à part entière.
La sympathie de Dalí pour Francisco Franco, son excentricité et ses œuvres tardives font de l'analyse de son opus, comme de sa personne, des thèmes difficiles et sujets à controverses.

Brian Jones
Lewis Brian Hopkin Jones (28 February 1942 – 3 July 1969) was an English musician and one of the founders of the Rolling Stones. Initially a slide guitarist, he went on to play electric guitar, sing backing vocals and play a wide variety of instruments on Rolling Stones recordings and in concerts.
After he founded the Rolling Stones as a British blues outfit in 1962 and gave the band its name, Jones's fellow band members Keith Richards and Mick Jagger began to take over the band's musical direction, especially after they became a successful songwriting team.
When Jones developed alcohol and drug problems, his performance in the studio became increasingly unreliable, leading to a diminished role within the band he had founded. In June 1969, the Rolling Stones dismissed Jones; guitarist Mick Taylor took his place in the group. Less than a month later, Jones died by drowning at the age of 27 in the swimming pool at his home at Cotchford Farm, East Sussex. His death was referenced in songs by many other pop bands, and Pete Townshend and Jim Morrison wrote poems about it. In 1989, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Rolling Stones.
