The name 'Salvador' had been given to an older brother who died in infancy. When Dali was born the name was passed on to him. No one could have known just how revolutionary and important this name would become to the art world. Growing up, Dali was a difficult child and refused to conform to family or community customs. Dali's father, a respected notary, his mother and younger sister all encouraged Dali's early interest in art. In fact, a room in the family home was the young artist's first studio. Early on, Dali's talent was already refined beyond his years, and with each year his talent only grew, as did his interests.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;\"\u003eAfter receiving private art lessons in Figueras for some time, Dali enrolled at the Escuela de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid in 1921. There he joined an avant-garde circle of students that included film-maker Luis Bunuel and poet-dramatist Federico Garcia Lorca. Although Dali excelled in his academic pursuits, he never took final examinations, deeming that he had no need for the type of education offered by formal schooling. He was expelled and reinstated, yet it mattered little to him. Salvador Dali's passion for the arts and his need to experience life on his own terms could not be met within the confines of school. He left. This did not sit well with Dali's father however, and Salvador was subsequently disowned. With no true home left to him, Dali moved into a fisherman's shack in the small village of Port Lligat, two miles from Cadaques and not far from the French border. Port Lligat would become the site of Dali's future mansion home where he would spend many years of his life.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;\"\u003eIt was at this time that Dali came under the influence of two forces that shaped his philosophy and his art. The first was Sigmund Freud's theory of the unconscious, introduced to Dali in Freud's book The Interpretation of Dreams. The second was his association with the French surrealists, a group of artists and writers led by the French poet Andre Breton. When Dali visited Paris for the first time, he was introduced to the leading surrealists in the movement, but because of his lack of interest in politics, he was eventually shunned by this group.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;\"\u003eIt was also around this time that Dali met the woman who was to become one the most important people in his life... his wife and soul mate, Gala. Gala was a Russian girl Dali met following her marriage to the French poet Paul Eluard. She served as a stabilizing force through most of the remainder of Salvador Dali's life. Gala saved him from serious nervous disorientation and took charge of every aspect of his existence: financial, artistic and sexual. With Gala's help, Dali became established as a notable painter in Paris.\u003c\/span\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: black; mso-color-alt: windowtext; background: white;\"\u003eUnder the influence of the surrealist movement, Dali's artistic style crystalized into the disturbing blend of precise realism and dreamlike fantasy that became his trademark. His later paintings, often on religious themes, are more classical in style. Salvador Dali died January 23, 1989.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"background: white;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Rug Life","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47665210523820,"sku":null,"price":1100.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0754\/5906\/8076\/files\/30.1_1.jpg?v=1792525041","url":"https:\/\/rug-auction.com\/products\/salvador-dali-1904-1989-hand-signed-limited-edition-lithograph-titled-le-pecheur-with-coa-24in-x-30in-61cm-x-76cm","provider":"The Rug Life","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
