Salvador Dali

Born in Catalonia, Spain in 1904, Salvador Dali showed artistic talent early. His father was very strict but his mother was much gentler and encouraged him to explore his interest in art. In 1916 he began drawing classes. Then, in 1922, Dali went to Madrid to study at the Academia de San Fernando.
While at school, Dali painted in the Cubist style and experimented briefly with Dada. After he left the Academia de San Fernando, Dali began to experiment with Surrealism.

In 1946, he collaborated with Walt Disney in a short film entitled "Destino" which was inspired by a Mexican "Bolero" by Armando Dominguez. The theme of the film was to stress the importance of time as we wait for destiny to act on our lives.
