CON ST RU CTI ONSalvador Felipe Jacinto Dalí Domènech Marquis
of Pubol (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989), popularly known
as Salvador Dalí was one of the more influential painters of the
20th Century. Dalí was a versatile artist whose paintings are rich
with symbols many of which were understood by Dali only and had to explained
at length. Dali never limited himself solely to painting - some of his
more popular artistic works are sculptures and other objects, and he is
also noted for his contributions to theatre, fashion, and photography.
His influence in art is due nearly equally to both his painting style
as well as his flamboyant nature - nearly his every waking moment was
an effort to draw attention to himself. Dali was known as a Surrealist
and is classified as such today though much of his work differs greatly
from most Surrealist painters of the time. This fact was not lost on Dali
who famously proclaimed, "Le surréalisme, c'est moi."
(I am surrealism). Much of Dali's efforts during his life were to distance
himself from others both socially, and politically, to create icon status
for himself. This effort can be summed up in the artists own words, "at
the age of six I wished to be a female cook, at seven Napoleon, ever since,
my ambition has been continually on the increase, as has my megalomania:
now all I want to be is Salvador Dali. But the closer I get to my goal,
the further Salvador Dali drifts away from me." When his compatriots
were mostly socialists and communists
