SALVADOR DALI  (1904- 1989)
Figueres, Spain

Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali I Domenench was born on May 11, 1904
in the small agricultural town of Figueres, Spain. The son of a prosperous
Notary. The young Dali attended the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts
in Madrid. Early recognition of Dali’s talent came with his first one-man show in Barcelona in 1925.  He became internationally known when three of his paintings
were shown in the third annual Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh in 1928.
The following year, Dali held his first one-man show in Paris, and he joined the
Surrealists, led by former Dadaist Andre Breton.
Dali soon became the leader of the Surrealist Movement.
As an artist Salvador Dali was not limited to a particular style or media.
The body of his work, from early impressionist paintings through his transitional
surrealist works, and into his classical period, leaving behind a wealth of oils,
watercolors, drawings, graphics, and sculptures, films, photographs, performance
pieces, jewels and objects of all descriptions. As important, he left for posterity the
permission to explore all aspects of one’s own life and to give them artistic expression.
Whether working from pure inspiration or on a commissioned illustration,
Dali’s matchless insight and symbolic complexity are apparent.
Above all, Dali was a superb draftsman. His experience as a creative artist
will always set a standard for the art of the twentieth century.
