Salvador Dalí
Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, 1st Marqués
de Dalí de Pubol (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989), known as Salvador Dalí was
a prominent Spanish surrealist painter born in Figueres, Spain.
Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking
and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often
attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His best-known work, The
Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. Dalí's expansive artistic
repertoire included film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a
range of artists in a variety of media.
Dalí attributed his "love of everything that is gilded
and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes to a
self-styled "Arab lineage", claiming that his ancestors were
descended from the Moors.
Dalí was highly imaginative, and also enjoyed indulging in
unusual and grandiose behavior. His eccentric manner and attention-grabbing
public actions sometimes drew more attention than his artwork, to the dismay of
those who held his work in high esteem, and to the irritation of his critics.
