Title: Salvador Dali


1
Salvador Dali
  • By John Gamache

Begging of Life
  • Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali I Domenech was born
    at 845 on the morning of May 11, 1904 in the
    small agricultural town of Figueres, Spain.
    Figueres is located in the foothills of the
    Pyrenees, only sixteen miles from the French
    border in the principality of Catalonia

Schooling and first talent
  • The young Dali attended the San Fernando Academy
    of Fine Arts in Madrid. Early recognition of
    Dali's talent came with his first one-man show in
    Barcelona in 1925. He became internationally
    known when three of his paintings, including The
    Basket of Bread (now in the Museum's collection),
    were shown in the third annual Carnegie
    International Exhibition in Pittsburgh in 1928.

Following first talent
  • The following year, Dali held his first one-man
    show in Paris. He also joined the surrealists,
    led by former Dadaist Andre Breton. That year,
    Dali met Gala Eluard when she visited him in
    Cadaques with her husband, poet Paul Eluard. She
    became Dali's lover, muse, business manager, and
    chief inspiration.

1934
  • Dali soon became a leader of the Surrealist
    Movement. His painting, The Persistance of
    Memory, with the soft or melting watches is still
    one of the best-known surrealist works. But as
    the war approached, the apolitical Dali clashed
    with the Surrealists and was "expelled" from the
    surrealist group during a "trial" in 1934. He did
    however, exhibit works in international
    surrealist exhibitions throughout the decade but
    by 1940, Dali was moving into a new type of
    painting with a preoccupation with science and
    religion.

death
  • Dali died January 23 1989 and he died from a
    heart attack from old age
