Salvador Dali was born on May 11, 1904, in Figueres, Spain. From an early age, Dali was encouraged to practice his art and would eventually go on to study at an academy in Madrid. In the 1920s he went to Paris and met some cool dudes like Miro and Picasso which lead to his surrealist stage. He is perhaps best known for his 1931 painting “The persistence of memory”, showing melting clocks in a cool setting. The rise of a fascist leader Francisco Franco in Spain led to Dali’s expulsion from the surrealist movement, but that didn’t stop him from painting. Dalis early life
