Thanks to those of you that answered this question. I received several
helpful responses. For those who are interested, here's one answer from
the Dali organization website:
"In 1919 Dalí was a sixth-form student at the grammar school in
Figueres, the present-day Ramon Muntaner school. The magazine Studium
was produced as the school magazine in those days, and Salvador Dalí
contributed to it and was a member of the editorial team. At that time
he started a series of portraits of various masters of universal
painting under the title “The Great Masters of Painting”, and
amongst
them we find Velázquez. Dalí highlights as that artist’s great works
Las
Meninas (The Maids of Honour) and Las Hilanderas (The Spinners), which
he says show a remarkable technique, unsurpassed by anybody else, at
times comparing its “colour distribution and placement ” with that
of
the Impressionists."

I am trying to help a student who is looking for an essay titled "The
Great Masters." It was written by Dali in regard to Diego Velazquez
(Velasquez). The student reports it appeared in a magazine / journal
edited by Diego but I don't have a citation. I've tried standard art
databases including JSTOR. She has scoured bibliographies of books on
Dali. Has anyone heard of this essay?
thanks in advance,
Nina
