Salvador Felipe Dalí was born in Figueras (Spain) in 1904. Between 1921 and 1925, he studied at the San Fernando Academy in Madrid, where he befriended poet Federico Garcia Lorca and filmmaker Buñuel. In 1925, the Dalmau Gallery in Barcelona organized his first solo exhibition, after which Picasso and Miró began to take an interest in his work.
Dalí was initially influenced by futurism, then by cubism (1925). In April 1926, Dalí traveled to Paris for the first time, where he visited Picasso. On his second trip to Paris in 1929, he attended the filming of Buñuel's movie 'Un Chien Andalou,' which Dalí co-wrote, and Miró introduced him to the group of surrealists. Dalí met André Breton and... Gala, his future wife and muse (who was then married to Paul Eluard). He joined the surrealist movement in 1929. Dalí became interested in Freud's psychoanalytic theories and defined his method as 'paranoiac-critical.' During this period, he painted dreamlike and ghostly spaces filled with symbolic elements: soft watches, crutches, fantastic animals, twisted characters. Dalí continued to participate in surrealist demonstrations and exhibitions even after his exclusion in 1934. Dalí interpreted several famous works in his own way, such as Millet's 'The Angelus,' creating various versions of them. Breton nicknamed him 'Avid Dollar.'
After the Spanish Civil War, he politically committed himself in favor of Franco. From the 1940s onward, he declared that he wanted to approach reality and returned to a more classical pictorial expression, without ceasing to infuse his works with his personal fantasy.
Recurring themes in both his painted work and his engravings include women, sex, religion, and battles. Dalí appears in peculiar shows throughout his career, blending art and life, constantly staging himself. After ten years of effort, Dalí opened his own museum: in 1974, the inauguration of the Teatro Museo Dalí took place. Dalí's last passion was the 'stereoscopic' painting (1975), and he presented his first 'hyper-stereoscopic' work in New York in 1978.
Dalí, who described himself as a 'cannibal,' 'megalomaniac,' and 'polymorphic pervert,' died in Barcelona, Spain, in 1989.
