About Salvador Dalí

  • Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, Marquis of Dalí de Púbol (, Catalan: [s?lß?'ðo ð?'li], Spanish: [salßa'ðo? ða'li]; 11 May 1904 – 23 January 1989) was a Spanish Surrealist artist, of Catalan ethnicity, born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his work.
  • His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters.
  • His best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in August, 1931, and is one of the most recognisable Surrealist paintings.
  • Dalí's expansive artistic repertoire included film, sculpture, and photography, at times in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media. Dalí was highly imaginative, and also enjoyed indulging in unusual and grandiose behavior.
  • To the dismay of those who held his work in high regard, and to the irritation of his critics, his eccentric manner and attention-grabbing public actions sometimes drew more attention than his artwork.
