Biography:
Born in Catalonia, Spain, Salvador Dali studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid, before being expelled for bad behavior. He was slightly influenced by the Futurist and Cubist movements, but found deeper appreciation for the introspective works of De Chirico. In 1929, Dali joined the Surrealists, but was kicked out of the group in 1939, after multiple arguments with Breton. After this split, Dali began producing his famous dream-like images. As a result, he acquired a large public following in the United States
