Salvador Dali was a Spanish Catalan surrealist painter. He was born on May 11, 1904 in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain. The Salvador Dali Paintings are best known for their striking, but bizarre images.
Salvador Dali was a skilled draftsman whose painting skills are attributed to the influence of the Renaissance masters. The Persistence of Memory, which Salvador completed in 1931, is best known among the Salvador Dali paintings.
In 1929, he held his one-man show in Paris where he joined surrealists led by former Dadaist Andre Breton. It was also in this year when he met Gala Eluard when the latter visited him at Cadaques with her husband and poet Paul Eluard. Gala became Dali's lover, manager and overall inspiration.
Dali became the leader of the Surrealist movement where one of Salvador Dali posters, The Persistence of Memory was considered the best of surrealists' works. However in 1934, he was expelled from the group during a trial as the war approaches.
La Vie was an example of the Picasso paintings during the Blue period. It is considered as a gloomy allegorical painting in the art world. It represented a culmination of several posthumous portraits of Carlos Casagemas done by the artist starting in 1901.
In one of his 1956 Salvador Dali paintings, Still Life Moving Fast, Salvador rendered a number of traditional still life objects perfectly in one work. These objects included shadows falling, according to the intent of nature, lights gleaming from a metal knife blade and light refracting from a glass bottle in a very realistic manner.
Another well known Spanish painter, Pablo Picasso, is considered one of the greatest and most influential artists of the 20th century. He is known as a co-founder of the Cubist movement, the inventor of constructing sculpture and a co-inventor of collage.
