Salvador Dali (1904-1989)
Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali I Domenech, 1st Marquis of Pubol was a Spanish surrealist painter. Surreal paintings are paintings that take something real and modify it in art by doing the impossible (i.e. bent clocks that work, or elephants with long skill legs). In 1931, Dali painted one of his most famous works, The Persistence of Memory, which introduced a surrealistic image of soft melting pocket watches. In 1934 an art exhibition in New York of Dali’s works created an immediate sensation. Dali became a leader of the Surrealist Movement. His painting, The Persistence of Memory, with the soft or melting watches is still one of the best-known surrealist works.
