Dalí: was born in Figueres, a small town at the foot of the Pyreneesën, some 25 kilometers from the French border, in Cataloniaë (Spain) on May 11, 1904. In his younger years, Dalí wasïnterested in painters such as El Greco, Francisco Goya, Michelangelo and Diego Velázquez. He turned his attention at that time to impressionism and cubism. Salvador Dalístudied in Madrid from 1921 to 1924. Even at that time, probably to draw attention to himself, he was an eccentric figure. In 1926 he went to Paris. There he met Pablo Picasso and André Breton and Breton. In 1929, he was welcomed by Breton and joined surrealism. In the US, Dalí worked for many years as a consultant and illustrator for the famous Walt Disney. Dalí was also known for his mustache, which was thin, elongated and gracefully curved. Like antennae, both mustache tips pointed upward or were curled. Dalí claimed that he received inspiration from the cosmos through his whiskers. His mustache was inspired by that of another world-famous Spanish painter, Diego Velázquez. On January 23, 1989, Dalíhimself died of cardiac arrest in the Galatea Tower of the DalíTheater Museum in Figueres, where he lived the last years of his life. He was buried here in a crypt under the stage.
