Salvador Dali-
He was born on May 11, 1904 in the small town of Figueres in Catalonia, northern Spain, to a family of notaries. His talent was evident as a child. He began taking drawing lessons at the age of ten, and at fourteen he began successfully exhibiting his paintings. His first infatuation with art was related to Impressionism, which he learned through his father's friend Picasso's Catalan Impressionist painter Ramon Pichot. At the age of 23, he received a printing press from his father.
In 1921. Dalí began studying at the Royal Academy of Art in Madrid. He was expelled twice and never took the final exams. He believed he was better qualified than the people who would examine him. During this period, he was interested in Pre-Raphaelite painting and the metaphysical painting of Giorgio de Chirica.
During his first visit to Paris in 1927, Dali met with Picasso in his atelier[2]. Picasso showed him his paintings, which made a great impression on Dalí. Later, however, Salvador said that one painting of his was worth more than all of Picasso's paintings.
In 1928, he moved to Paris. With the intercession of Joan Miró, Salvador Dalí became a full-fledged member of the Surrealist group. They gathered around André Breton, the creator of the three Manifestos of Surrealism, the first of which was published in 1924. André Breton acted as the leader of the group as the founder of the theory of Surrealism. In 1928, the first painting by Dalí considered surrealist was created: Honey is sweeter than blood. Dalí soon became a prominent figure in the group. However, in 1934 he was excluded from the group - he was accused of supporting fascism, as well as greed[footnote needed].
