About the Artist
Salvador Dalí was born in the region of Catalonia in Spain, and became one of the leaders of Surrealist works of art. Being skilled in painting, photography, film, and sculpture, Dalí was able to collaborate with many artists during his life, including fellow Surrealist Man Ray. His works of art, which included his Persistence of Memory (1931) and his Galatea of the Spheres (1952), were extremely unique and attention-grabbing, containing obscure scenes with deeply-rooted messages while being influenced by Renaissance masters such as Michelangelo and Raphael.

About the Movement
Dalí worked in the Surrealist Age of art. Surrealism was an early 20th-Century movement (or in the early 1900s) known for containing realistic depictions of dreams, influenced by the writings of Sigmund Freud. These included almost unreasonable and illogical scenes that allow viewers to read a variety of narratives and messages in their works of art. Some of the most famous Surrealist artists included René Magritte, Salvador Dalí, and Max Ernst.

​Fun Fact: Dalí, in addition to being a skilled painter and photographer, actually designed four various front covers for Vogue​ magazine.
