**************************
Salvador Dalí is one of the most popular artists of the 20th century. Famous surrealist, he explains “all my best ideas [come] through my dreams”. His best-known painting, The Persistence of Memory (1931), shows the visual representation of psychoanalysis: fluid forms melt into a landscape beyond time and space.  

Dalí's eccentric personality brings him notoriety and often eclipses his talent. He considers himself a genius and the modern master Pablo Picasso his equal. 

Born Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech on May 11, 1904 in Figueras, Spain, he showed a great aptitude for the visual arts from adolescence. Three years after his first exhibition at the age of 14, Dalí enrolled at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts of San Fernando in Madrid.

 Influenced by the Old Masters Johannes Vermeer and Diego Velázquez, Dalí excelled in drawing and classical aspects of painting. 

At the end of the 1920s, the Catalan Joan Miró introduced him to the surrealists in France, Jean Arp, René Magritte and Max Ernst.

 Dalí died at the age of 84 on January 23, 1989 in Figueras.
