Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), born in Figueres, Spain, was a pioneering Surrealist painter known for his striking, dreamlike imagery and famously flamboyant persona. After studying in Madrid, he joined the Surrealists in Paris, where he met his muse Gala and quickly became a leading figure, producing iconic works like The Persistence of Memory. Following his break from the Surrealist group, Dalí and Gala moved to the United States during World War II, where he gained celebrity status and published his autobiography. He spent his later years in Spain, focusing on scientific and religious themes, remaining an influential and provocative figure until his death.
