SALVADOR DALI (1904-1989) is considered the greatest artist of the surrealist movement and one of the greatest masters of art of the twentieth century. He was born in Figueras, Catalonia and educated at the School of Fine Arts, Madrid. After 1929 he espoused surrealism, although the leaders of the movement later denounced Dali as overly commercial. Dali's paintings from this period depict dream imagery and everyday objects in unexpected forms, such as the famous limp watches. Dali moved to the United States in 1940, where he remained until 1948. His later paintings, often on religious themes, are more classical in style. Dali's paintings are characterized by meticulous draftsmanship and realistic detail, with brilliant colors heightened by transparent glazes. Dali designed and produced surrealist films, illustrated books, handcrafted jewelry, and created theatrical sets and costumes.
