Salvador Dali. 1904 - 1989 One of the greatest painters of the 20th Century

Studied as a young man at the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts in  Madrid, and he had his first exhibition of his paintings in Barcelona in 1925.  At the age of 25 he became a member of the group of surrealists and also met his future wife Gala and they became very close. His prominence in the surrealists movement led his to become it's most influential painter but was expelled from the group in 1934. Dali left Europe in 1940 to go to America and it was in 1941 that the Museum of  Modern Art, New York gave him a major exhibition of his work which set him on the path to fame. He started a new series of 19 large paintings in a new style which dwelt on religion and historical scenes. Following the death of his wife Gala in 1982 Dali himself began to have poor health with heart problems  Throughout his life he worked in all types of mediums and after he died on January 23rd 1989 his family found thousands of paintings in his studio. He will be remembered as being one of the great artist's of the 20th century. Salvador Dali posters  Surrealism Transitional Blog Dali Gallery
