Who Was Salvador Dalí?

Salvador Dalí was an artist born on May 11, 1904, in Figueres, Spain. From an early age, Dalí
was encouraged to practice his art. In 1922, he started studying art in an academy in Madrid.
In 1926, Dalí went to Paris and began interacting with artists such as Picasso, Magritte, and
Miró. They belonged to the Surrealist movement, and this inspired Dalí to start making
surrealist paintings too. However, Dalí supported Spain’s dictator at that time, Francisco
Franco, so he was expulsed from the Surrealist movement—but this didn’t stop him from
painting. Dalí died in Figueres in 1989. The artist is perhaps best known for his 1931 painting
The Persistence of Memory, which shows melting clocks in a landscape setting.
