SALVADOR DALÍ By: Lorena Arias Group: A30
Salvador Dalí His complete name was Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech He was born on may 11th, 1904. Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. Dalí was highly imaginative, and also enjoyed indulging in unusual and grandiose behavior
Politics and Personality Dalí, a colorful and imposing presence with his ever–present long cape, walking stick, haughty expression, and upturned waxed mustache, was famous for having said that "every morning upon awakening, I experience a supreme pleasure: that of being Salvador Dalí" In his youth, he embraced both anarchism and Comm unism, though his writings tell anecdotes of making radical political statements more to shock listeners than from any deep conviction.
As he grew older his political allegiances changed, especially as the Surrealist movement went through transformations.
Legacy Salvador Dalí has been cited as major inspiration from many modern artists, such as Damien Hirst, Noel Fielding, Jeff Koons and most other modern surrealists. Salvador Dalí's manic expression and famous moustache have made him something of a cultural icon for the bizarre and surreal.
