born Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali i Domenech
born may 11 1904
died january 23 1989
Spanish surrealist, encouraged to be an artist by his mother.
he's known for his bizarre imagery. his works were a look into his psyche, as he said he used a paranoiac-critical method of accessing his subconscious.
he was influenced by Dada and Cubism, and Picasso was one of his idols. one can see clear influences from Miro, di Chirico, and Ernst in Dali as well.
Dali used both classical and modernist techniques. he delighted in visual puns and obscure allusions.
he was known for his iconic moustache and his eccentric behavior, which sometimes overshadowed his artwork. he was a surrealist icon for both his character and his art.
