About the Artist:
Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) was born on May 11, 1904 in the town of Figueres, close to the French border of Catalonia, Spain, to a wealthy family who encouraged him to pursue art. Being introduced to modern painting and art at a young age, Dalí studied at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, where he made the acquaintance of noted Spanish figures Pepín Bello, Luis Buñuel, and Federico García Lorca. A talented, but eccentric student, Dalí left before his final exams, becoming increasingly fascinated with the Surrealist movement in 1927 and beginning to incorporate subconscious imagery based on the writings of Sigmund Freud into his work. From 1929 to 1937, his painting style matured rapidly, quickly making him the world’s best known surrealist artist; in particular, his 1931 masterpiece The Persistence of Memory is regarded as one of the greatest and most recognizable works of art of the 20th century. Dalí moved to the United States in 1940 with his wife and muse, Gala, where he lived until 1955. Dalí’s later work incorporated themes of religious subjects and continued to use center on Gala. He was forced to retire from painting in 1980 by a motor disorder that caused weak and trembling hands and moved to Pubol, a castle that he had purchased for Gala, where he became increasingly reclusive. Moved back to Figueres by friends and patrons to live his last years comfortably, Dalí died of cardiac arrest on January 23, 1989 at the age of 84.
