Salvador Dali biography in Biographies from the artzine on artrepublic.comSalvador Dail is one of the best known members of the surrealist movement and has enjoyed enduring public popularity. His paintings of melting clocks, half human figures and strange desert landscapes took their inspiration from his dreams, fantasies and the unconscious mind. His later religious paintings are less well regarded in the art world but still popular with the public. As well as painting he also produced sculpture, jewellery and furniture designs and collaborated on films. Dali was born in the Catalan region of Spain in 1904. After a visit to Paris in 1928 he joined the Surrealist movement and in 1929 he made the iconic surrealist film ‘Un Chien Andalou’. Despite being seen as one of the most famous members of the Surrealist movement he was thrown out of it in 1937 due to political and stylistic differences. By the 1950’s he had settled in Spain where he was to spend the rest of his life living as a world famous recluse and died in 1989. Browse Prints
