January 1. 98. 9), known professionally as Salvador Dalí ([1][2]Catalan: [səɫβəˈðo ðəˈɫi]; Spanish: [salβaˈðoɾ ðaˈli]), was a prominent 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 surrealist work.

His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters.[3][4] His best- known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in August 1. 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"[5] to an "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.[6][7]Biography[edit]Early life[edit]. The Dalí family in 1.

Figueres, in the Empordàregion, close to the French border in Catalonia, Spain.[9] In the Summer of 1. Carrer Monturiol 2. Dalí's older brother, who had also been named Salvador (born 1. October 1. 90. 1), had died of gastroenteritis nine months earlier, on 1 August 1. His father, Salvador Dalí i Cusí, was a middle- class lawyer and notary[1. Felipa Domenech Ferrés, who encouraged her son's artistic endeavors.[1. When he was five, Dalí was taken to his brother's grave and told by his parents that he was his brother's reincarnation,[1.

Of his brother, Dalí said, "[we] resembled each other like two drops of water, but we had different reflections."[1. He "was probably a first version of myself but conceived too much in the absolute."[1. Images of his long- dead brother would reappear embedded in his later works, including Portrait of My Dead Brother (1. Dalí also had a sister, Anna Maria, who was three years younger.[1. In 1. 94. 9, she published a book about her brother, Dalí As Seen By His Sister.[1. His childhood friends included future FC Barcelona footballers Sagibarba and Josep Samitier. During holidays at the Catalan resort of Cadaqués, the trio played football (soccer) together.[1.

Dalí attended drawing school. In 1. 91. 6, he also discovered modern painting on a summer vacation trip to Cadaqués with the family of Ramon Pichot, a local artist who made regular trips to Paris.[1. The next year, Dalí's father organized an exhibition of his charcoal drawings in their family home. He had his first public exhibition at the Municipal Theatre in Figueres in 1. In February 1. 92. Dalí's mother died of breast cancer.

Dalí was 1. 6 years old; he later said his mother's death "was the greatest blow I had experienced in my life. I worshiped her.. I could not resign myself to the loss of a being on whom I counted to make invisible the unavoidable blemishes of my soul."[7][1. After her death, Dalí's father married his deceased wife's sister. Dalí did not resent this marriage, because he had a great love and respect for his aunt.[1. Madrid and Paris[edit]In 1.

Dalí moved into the Residencia de Estudiantes (Students' Residence) in Madrid[1. Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando. A lean 1. 7. 2 metres (5 ft 7 3⁄4 in) tall,[2. Dalí already drew attention as an eccentric and dandy. He had long hair and sideburns, coat, stockings, and knee- breeches in the style of English aesthetes of the late 1.

At the Residencia, he became close friends with (among others) Pepín Bello, Luis Buñuel, and Federico García Lorca. The friendship with Lorca had a strong element of mutual passion,[2. Dalí rejected the poet's sexual advances.[2.

However it was his paintings, in which he experimented with Cubism, that earned him the most attention from his fellow students. His only information on Cubist art had come from magazine articles and a catalog given to him by Pichot, since there were no Cubist artists in Madrid at the time. In 1. 92. 4, the still- unknown Salvador Dalí illustrated a book for the first time.

It was a publication of the Catalan poem Les bruixes de Llers ("The Witches of Llers") by his friend and schoolmate, poet Carles Fages de Climent. Dalí also experimented with Dada, which influenced his work throughout his life. Dalí was expelled from the Academy in 1. His mastery of painting skills at that time was evidenced by his realistic The Basket of Bread, painted in 1.

That same year, he made his first visit to Paris, where he met Pablo Picasso, whom the young Dalí revered.[7] Picasso had already heard favorable reports about Dalí from Joan Miró, a fellow Catalan who introduced him to many Surrealist friends.[7] As he developed his own style over the next few years, Dalí made a number of works heavily influenced by Picasso and Miró. Some trends in Dalí's work that would continue throughout his life were already evident in the 1. Dalí devoured influences from many styles of art, ranging from the most academically classic, to the most cutting- edge avant- garde.[2.

His classical influences included Raphael, Bronzino, Francisco de Zurbarán, Vermeer and Velázquez.[2. He used both classical and modernist techniques, sometimes in separate works, and sometimes combined. Exhibitions of his works in Barcelona attracted much attention along with mixtures of praise and puzzled debate from critics. Dalí grew a flamboyant moustache, influenced by 1.
