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.
He attended the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid and has been recognized early on his one-man show at Barcelona in 1925. When three Salvador Dali posters were shown at the third annual Carnegie International Exhibition (Pittsburg, 1928) which included The Basket of Bread which was now in the Museum's Collection, he became internationally known.
This realism was enamoured with a Symbolist influence by 1897 as shown in Picasso paintings of a series of landscapes in non-naturalistic violet and green tones. Among his well renowned works are The Hallucinogenic Toreador and The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, which were already in the museum's collection and The Sacrament of the Last Supper which was in the National Gallery collection in Washington, D.C.
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.
Salvador's interest in mathematics and physics is depicted in one of the 1954 Salvador Dali paintings, Crucifixion. In this painting, Jesus is crucified on an unfolded hypercube.
The Frugal Repast was among the Picasso paintings at the end of his Blue period. It depicted an emaciated couple consisting of a blind man and a sighted woman, seated at a bare table.
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.
