Salvador Dali - an author, artist and provocateur! He
was one of the most notable figures of the Surrealist movement. Born in
1904 in Figueras, Catalonia, DalĂ studied art in Madrid and Barcelona,
where he demonstrated masterful painting skills and experimented with
several artistic styles. In the late 1920s, two chief influences emerged
that shaped his mature artistic style. The first was the work of
psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud that explored the erotic significance of
dreams and subconscious imagery. The second was his introduction to the
Paris Surrealists, a group of artists and writers who sought to unlock
the creative potential of the human unconscious.
