Salvador Dali was a Spanish Catalan surrealist painter. He was born on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. The Salvador Dali Paintings are best known for their striking, but bizarre images.
Salvador Dali was a skilled draftsman whose painting skills are attributed to the influence of the Renaissance masters. The Persistence of Memory, which Salvador completed in 1931, is best known among the Salvador Dali paintings.
In 1929, he held his one-man show in Paris where he joined surrealists led by former Dadaist Andre Breton. It was also in this year when he met Gala Eluard when the latter visited him at Cadaques with her husband and poet Paul Eluard. Gala became Dali's lover, manager and overall inspiration.
Dali became the leader of the Surrealist movement where one of Salvador Dali posters, The Persistence of Memory was considered the best of surrealists' works. However in 1934, he was expelled from the group during a trial as the war approaches.
La Vie was an example of the Picasso paintings during the Blue period. It is considered as a gloomy allegorical painting in the art world. It represented a culmination of several posthumous portraits of Carlos Casagemas done by the artist starting in 1901.
His major retrospective exhibit took place at The Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1941 which was followed with the publication of The Secret Life of Salvador Dali, his autobiography in 1942. Salvador Dali posters range from scientific to historical to religious themes as he moved away from Surrealism into his classic period.
In Figueres, Spain, Dali opened a Teatro Museo in 1974 which was followed by Paris' and London's retrospectives at the end of the decade. In 1982, after the death of his wife Gala, his health also started to take a downfall. His condition deteriorated further when he was burned in a fire at his very own home in Pubol on 1984. He died in the 23rd of January, 1989 from a cardiac failure with respiratory complications in Figueres.
