Born in [[Figueres]], in [[Catalonia]], [[Spain]], Dalí received his formal education in fine arts in Madrid. Influenced by [[Impressionism]] and the [[Renaissance art|Renaissance]] masters from a young age, he became increasingly attracted to [[Cubism]] and [[avant-garde]] movements.<ref>Gibson, Ian, The Shameful Life of Salvador Dalí, London, Faber and Faber, 1997, Chs 2, 3</ref> He moved closer to Surrealism in the late 1920s and joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. His best-known work, ''[[The Persistence of Memory]]'', was completed in August 1931, and is one of the most famous Surrealist paintings. Dalí lived in France throughout the [[Spanish Civil War]] (1936 to 1939) before leaving for the United States in 1940 where he achieved commercial success. He returned to Spain in 1948 where he announced his return to the Catholic faith and developed his "nuclear mysticism" style, based on his interest in classicism, mysticism, and recent scientific developments.<ref>Gibson, Ian, ''The Shameful Life of Salvador Dali'' (1997)</ref>

Dalí's artistic repertoire included painting, sculpture, film, graphic arts, filmanimation, sculpturefashion, design and photography, at times in collaboration with other artists. He also wrote fiction, poetry, autobiography, essays, and criticism. Major themes in his work include dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. To the dismay of those who held his work in high regard, and to the irritation of his critics, his eccentric and ostentatious public behavior often drew more attention than his artwork.<ref>{{cite web |last=Saladyga |first=Stephen Francis |url=http://purple.niagara.edu/jlittle/lamplighter/saladyga.htm |title=The Mindset of Salvador Dalí |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060906040713/http://purple.niagara.edu/jlittle/lamplighter/saladyga.htm |archive-date=6 September 2006 |work=Lamplighter |publisher=[[Niagara University]] |volume=1 |issue=3 |year=2006 |access-date=22 July 2006}}</ref><ref name="Meisler">{{cite web|last1=Meisler|first1=Stanley|title=The Surreal World of Salvador Dalí|url=http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-surreal-world-of-salvador-dali-78993324/|website=Smithsonian.com|publisher=Smithsonian Magazine|access-date=12 July 2014|date=April 2005|archive-date=18 May 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140518170614/http://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-surreal-world-of-salvador-dali-78993324/|url-status=live}}</ref> His public support for the [[Francoist Spain|Francoist regime]], his commercial activities and the quality and authenticity of some of his late works have also been controversial.<ref name="Gibson, Ian 1997, passim">Gibson, Ian (1997), ''passim''</ref> His life and work were an important influence on other Surrealists, [[pop art]], popular culture, and contemporary artists such as [[Jeff Koons]] and [[Damien Hirst]].<ref name=":9" /><ref name=":8">{{Cite web|title=Salvador Dalí's iconic Lobster Telephone acquired by National Galleries of Scotland|url=https://www.nationalgalleries.org/press-office/press-releases-2018|date=17 December 2018|website=National Galleries Scotland|access-date=20 May 2020|archive-date=6 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806210738/https://www.nationalgalleries.org/press-office/press-releases-2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

There are two major museums devoted to Salvador Dalí's work: the [[Dalí Theatre and Museum|Dalí Theatre-Museum]] in [[Figueres]], Spain, and the [[Salvador Dalí Museum]] in [[St. Petersburg, Florida]], U.S.

Dalí also had a sister, Ana María, who was three years younger.,<ref name=Llongueras /> and whom Dalí painted 12 times between 1923 and 1926.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997). p. 109</ref>

Also in 1922, he began what would become a lifelong relationship with the [[Museo del Prado|Prado Museum]], which he felt was, 'incontestably the best museum of old paintings in the world.'<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.salvador-dali.org/en/breaking-news/monographic-dali-raphael/salvador-dali-museo-del-prado/|title=Salvador Dalí and the Museo del Prado: A Prolonged Fascination &#124; Fundació Gala -– Salvador Dalí|access-date=15 July 2020|archive-date=15 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200715151331/https://www.salvador-dali.org/en/breaking-news/monographic-dali-raphael/salvador-dali-museo-del-prado/|url-status=live}}</ref> Each Sunday morning, Dalí went to the Prado to study the works of the great masters.

Dalí had two important exhibitions at the Pierre Colle Gallery in Paris in June 1931 and May–June 1932. The earlier exhibition included sixteen paintings of which ''The Persistence of Memory'' attracted the most attention. Some of the notable features of the exhibitions were the proliferation of images and references to Dalí's muse Gala and the inclusion of Surrealist Objects such as ''Hypnagogic Clock'' and ''Clock Based on the Decomposition of Bodies''.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 279–283, 299–300</ref> Dalí's last, and largest, the exhibition at the Pierre Colle Gallery was held in June 1933 and included twenty-two paintings, ten drawings, and two objects. One critic noted Dalí's precise draftsmanship and attention to detail, describing him as a "paranoiac of geometrical temperament".<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 314–15</ref> Dalí's first New York exhibition was held at [[Julien Levy]]'s gallery in November–December 1933. The exhibition featured twenty-six works and was a commercial and critical success. The ''New Yorker'' critic praised the precision and lack of sentimentality in the works, calling them "frozen nightmares".<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997), p. 316</ref>

Dalí was in London when the [[Spanish Civil War]] broke out in July 1936. When he later learned that his friend Lorca had been executed by [[Nationalist faction (Spanish Civil War)|Nationalist]] forces, Dalí's claimed response was to shout: "Olé!" Dalí was to include frequent references to the poet in his art and writings for the remainder of his life.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997), pp. 361–63</ref> Nevertheless, Dalí avoided taking a public stand for or against the [[the Second Spanish Republic|Republic]] for the duration of the conflict.<ref name=":4">Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 376-77376–77, and ''passim''</ref>

In January 1938, Dalí unveiled ''[[Rainy Taxi]]'', a three-dimensional artwork consisting of an automobile and two mannequin occupants being soaked with rain from within the taxi. The piece was first displayed at the Galerie Beaux-Arts in Paris at the ''[[Exposition Internationale du Surréalisme]]'', organized by [[André Breton]] and [[Paul Éluard]]. The Exposition was designed by artist [[Marcel Duchamp]], who also served as host.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.salvador-dali.org/dali/en_biografia.html|title=Salvador Dalí's Biography – Gala|work=salvador-dali.org|publisher=Salvador Dalí Foundation|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061106020704/http://www.salvador-dali.org/dali/en_biografia.html|archive-date=6 November 2006|access-date=14 February 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last1=Herbert|first1=James D.|url=https://archive.org/details/paris1937worldso00herb|title=Paris 1937|publisher=Cornell University Press|year=1998|isbn=978-0-8014-3494-5|page=[https://archive.org/details/paris1937worldso00herb/page/27 27]|access-date=14 February 2015|url-access=registration}}</ref><ref>{{Cite book|last1=Cohen-Solal|first1=Annie|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=nDJL4MwVK10C&pg=PA130|title=Leo and His Circle|year=2010|publisher=Alfred A.

At the [[1939 New York World's Fair]], Dalí debuted his ''Dream of Venus'' Surrealist pavilion, located in the Amusements Area of the exposition. It featured bizarre sculptures, statues, mermaids, and live nude models in "costumes" made of fresh seafood, an event photographed by Horst P. Horst, George Platt Lynes, and Murray Korman.<ref name="DrmVns"/> Dalí was angered by changes to his designs, railing against mediocrities who thought that "a woman with the tail of a fish is possible; a woman with the head of a fish impossible."<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997), pp. 391-92391–92</ref>

The outbreak of [[World War II]] in September 1939 saw the Dalís in France. Following the German invasion, they were able to escape because on 20 June 1940 they were issued visas by [[Aristides de Sousa Mendes]], Portuguese consul in Bordeaux, France. They crossed into Portugal and subsequently sailed on the ''Excambion'' from Lisbon to New York in August 1940.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://sousamendesfoundation.org/dali/ |title= Dalí |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131102223907/http://sousamendesfoundation.org/dali/ |archive-date=2 November 2013 |work=Sousa Mendes Foundation |date=20 June 1940 |access-date=12 May 2014}}</ref> Dalí and Gala were to live in the United States for eight years, splitting their time between New York and the [[Monterey Peninsula]], [[California]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.montereycountyweekly.com/news/cover/a-world-class-salvador-dali-art-collection-comes-to-monterey/article_b1267eae-db3d-11e5-9e95-3f5ae7bc3619.html|title=A world-class Salvador Dalí art collection comes to Monterey.|last=Schmalz|first=David|website=Monterey County Weekly|date=25 February 2016 |access-date=6 June 2016|archive-date=26 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180826071520/http://www.montereycountyweekly.com/news/cover/a-world-class-salvador-dali-art-collection-comes-to-monterey/article_b1267eae-db3d-11e5-9e95-3f5ae7bc3619.html|url-status=live}}</ref><ref name=":11">Gibson, Ian (1997), pp. 411–12</ref>

On September 2, September 1941, he hosted ''A Surrealistic Night in an Enchanted Forest'' in Monterey, a charity event which attracted national attention but raised little money for charity.<ref>

During the war years, Dalí was also engaged in projects in various other fields. He executed designs for a number of ballets including ''Labyrinth'' (1942), ''Sentimental Colloquy'', ''Mad Tristan'', and ''The Cafe of Chinitas'' (all 1944).<ref name=":1">Gibson, Ian (1997), pp. 431–43</ref> In 1945 he created the dream sequence for Alfred Hitchcock's film ''Spellbound''.<ref name=":2">Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 434-45434–45</ref> He also produced artwork and designs for products such as perfumes, cosmetics, hosiery and ties.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 430–31</ref>

As Dalí moved further towards embracing [[Catholicism]] he introduced more religious iconography and themes in his painting. In 1949 he painted a study for ''[[The Madonna of Port Lligat]]'' (first version, 1949) and showed it to [[Pope Pius XII]] during an audience arranged to discuss Dalí 's marriage to Gala.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 450–53</ref> This work was a precursor to the phase Dalí dubbed "Nuclear Mysticism," a fusion of Einsteinian physics, classicism, and Catholic mysticism. In paintings such as ''[[The Madonna of Port Lligat]]'', ''[[Christ of Saint John of the Cross|The Christ of Saint John on the Cross]]'' and ''[[The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory]]'', Dalí sought to synthesize Christian iconography with images of material disintegration inspired by nuclear physics.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.arton5th.com/Dali/bio.html|title=Salvador Dalí Bio, Art on 5th|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060504050531/http://www.arton5th.com/Dali/bio.html|archive-date=4 May 2006|access-date=22 July 2006}}</ref><ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 461–63</ref> His later Nuclear Mysticism works included ''[[La Gare de Perpignan]]'' (1965) and ''[[The Hallucinogenic Toreador]]'' (1968–70).

In 1960, Dalí began work on his [[Dalí Theatre and Museum|Theatre-Museum]] in his home town of [[Figueres]]. It was his largest single project and a main focus of his energy through to 1974, when it opened. He continued to make additions through the mid-1980s.<ref name="Pitxot">{{cite book|last=Pitxot|first=Antoni | author-link = Antoni Pitxot|title=The Dalí Theatre-Museum|date=2007|publisher=Triangle Postals|location=Sant Lluís, Menorca|isbn=978-84-8478-288-9|author2=Montse Aguer Teixidor |author3=photography, Jordi Puig |author4= translation, Steve Cedar }}</ref><ref name="FGSD">{{cite web|url=http://www.salvador-dali.org/museus/figueres/en_historia.html|title=Figueres: Teatre Museu Dalí – History|year=2010|publisher=Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí|access-date=20 June 2010|archive-date=3 April 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140403010843/http://www.salvador-dali.org/museus/figueres/en_historia.html|url-status=live}}</ref>

From the late 1920s, Dalí progressively introduced many bizarre or incongruous images into his work which invite symbolic interpretation. While some of these images suggest a straightforward sexual or [[Freudian]] interpretation (Dalí read [[Sigmund Freud|Freud]] in the 1920s) others (such as locusts[[locust]]s, rotting donkeys[[donkey]]s, and [[sea urchinsurchin]]s) are idiosyncratic and have been variously interpreted.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 207–08</ref> Some commentators have cautioned that Dalí's own comments on these images are not always reliable.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997), p. 478</ref>

Food and eating have a central place in Dalí's thoughts and work. He associated food with beauty and sex and was obsessed with the image of the female [[praying mantis]] eating her mate after copulation.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997), p. 312</ref> Bread was a recurring image in Dalí's art, from his early work ''[[The Basket of Bread]]'' to later public performances such as in 1958 when he gave a lecture in Paris using a 12-meter-long [[baguette]] an illustrative prop.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://ivc.lib.rochester.edu/breaking-dalinian-bread-on-consuming-the-anthropomorphic-performative-ferocious-and-eucharistic-loaves-of-salvador-dali/|title=Breaking Dalinian Bread|last=Pine|first=Julia|date=1 January 2010|website=InVisible Culture|access-date=3 April 2020|archive-date=30 July 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200730163221/https://ivc.lib.rochester.edu/breaking-dalinian-bread-on-consuming-the-anthropomorphic-performative-ferocious-and-eucharistic-loaves-of-salvador-dali/|url-status=live}}</ref> He saw bread as "the elementary basis of continuity" and "sacred subsistence".<ref>{{Cite book|last=Dalí|first=Salvador|title=The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí|publisher=Dover Publications|year=1993|isbn=978-0-486-27454-6|location=New York|page=306}}</ref>

The egg is another common Dalínian image.

The famous "melting watches" that appear in ''The Persistence of Memory'' suggest [[Albert Einstein|Einstein]]'s theory that time is relative and not fixed.<ref name="Conquete" /> Dalí later claimed that the idea for clocks functioning symbolically in this way came to him when he was contemplating [[Camembert]] cheese.<ref>Salvador Dalí, ''The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí'' (New York: Dial Press, 1942), p. 317.</ref>

The [[rhinoceros]] and rhinoceros horn shapes began to proliferate in Dalí's work from the mid-1950s. According to Dalí, the rhinoceros horn signifies divine geometry because it grows in a [[logarithmic spiral]]. He linked the rhinoceros to themes of chastity and to the [[Virgin Mary]].<ref name=":6" /> However, he also used it as an obvious phallic symbol as in ''[[Young Virgin Auto-Sodomized by the Horns of Her Own Chastity]].''<ref name=":0">Gibson, Ian (1997) p. 478</ref>

Various other animals appear throughout Dalí's work: rotting donkeys and ants have been interpreted as pointing to death, decay, and sexual desire; the [[snail]] as connected to the human head (he saw a snail on a bicycle outside Freud's house when he first met Sigmund Freudhim); and locusts as a symbol of waste and fear.<ref name="symb" /> The elephant is also a recurring image in his work; for example, ''[[Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening]]''. The elephants are inspired by [[Gian Lorenzo Bernini]]'s sculpture base in Rome of an [[Santa Maria Sopra Minerva#Minerva's Pulcino|elephant carrying an ancient obelisk]].<ref>Michael Taylor in [[Dawn Adès]] (ed.), ''Dalí'' (Milan: Bompiani, 2004), p. 342</ref>

Dalí's life-long interest in science and mathematics was often reflected in his work. His soft watches have been interpreted as references to [[Theory of relativity|Einstein's theory of the relativity]] of time and space.<ref name="Conquete" /> Images of atomic particles appeared in his work soon after the [[atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki]]<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 433–34</ref> and strands of [[DNA]] appeared from the mid-1950s.<ref name=":0" /> In 1958 he wrote in his ''Anti-Matter Manifesto'': "In the Surrealist period, I wanted to create the iconography of the interior world and the world of the marvelous, of my father Freud. Today, the exterior world and that of physics have transcended the one of psychology. My father today is [[Werner Heisenberg|Dr. Heisenberg]]."<ref name="triangle">{{cite web |url=http://www.thetriangle.org/media/storage/paper689/news/2005/04/29/Entertainment/Dali-Explorations.Into.The.Domain.Of.Science-944328.shtml?norewrite200608080502 |title=Dalí: Explorations into the domain of science |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101208181828/http://media.www.thetriangle.org/media/storage/paper689/news/2005/04/29/Entertainment/Dali-Explorations.Into.The.Domain.Of.Science-944328.shtml |archive-date=8 December 2010 |work=The Triangle Online |access-date=8 August 2006 |last=Datta |first=Suman |page=1 |publisher=College Publisher}}</ref><ref>Salvador Dalí, "Anti-Matter Manifesto," Carstairs Gallery, New York, December 1958 – January 1959, quoted in Elliott H.

After he collaborated with Buñuel, Dalí worked on several unrealized film projects including a published script for a film, ''Babaouo'' (1932); a scenario for [[Harpo Marx]] called ''Giraffes on Horseback Salad'' (1937); and an abandoned dream sequence for the film ''Moontide'' (1942).<ref>"Dali: Painting and Film," Press release, Museum of Modern Art, June 2008</ref> In 1945 Dalí created the dream sequence in Hitchcock's ''[[Spellbound (1945 film)|Spellbound]]'', but neither Dalí nor the director was satisfied with the result.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 434–35</ref> Dalí also worked with [[Walt Disney]] and animator [[John Hench]] on the short film ''[[Destino]]'' in 1946.<ref name=":3" /> After initially being abandoned, the animated film was completed in 2003 by Baker Bloodworth and Walt Disney's nephew [[Roy E.

Between 1954 and 1961 Dalí worked with photographer [[Robert Descharnes]] on ''The Prodigious History of the Lacemaker and the Rhinoceros'', but the film was never completed.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) p. 479</ref>

Dalí's architectural achievements include his [[Port Lligat]] house near [[Cadaqués]], as well as his Theatre Museum in [[Figueres]]. A major work outside of Spain was the temporary ''Dream of Venus'' Surrealist pavilion at the 1939 New York World's Fair, which contained several unusual sculptures and statues, including live performers posing as statues.<ref name=DrmVns>{{cite book|last=Schaffner|first=Ingrid, Photogr. by Eric Schaal|title=Salvador Dalí's "Dream of Venus": the surrealist funhouse from the 1939 World's Fair|year=2002|publisher=Princeton Architectural Press|location=New York|isbn=978-1-56898-359-2|edition=1. }}</ref> In 1958, Dalí completed ''Crisalida,'' a temporary installation promoting a drug, which was exhibited at a medical convention in San Francisco.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Weir |first=Simon |date=2022-07-29 July 2022 |title=Surrealist Architecture: Dalí's 1958 Crisalida, San Francisco |url=https://jsa-asu.org/index.php/JSA/article/view/245 |journal=Journal of Surrealism and the Americas |language=en |volume=13 |issue=1 |issn=2326-0459}}</ref>

Dalí's sexuality had a profound influence on his work. He stated that as a child he saw a book with graphic illustrations of venereal diseases and this provoked a life-long disgust of female genitalia and a fear of impotence and sexual intimacy. Dalí frequently stated that his main sexual activity involved voyeurism and masturbation and his preferred sexual orifice was the anus.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) pp. 71–74,166, 232, 280–81</ref> Dalí said that his wife Gala was the only person with whom he had achieved complete coitus.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997), p. 231</ref> From 1927, Dalí's work featured graphic and symbolic sexual images usually associated with other images evoking shame and disgust. ImagesAnal ofand anality andfecal excrementimagery alsois aboundprominent in his work from this time. Some of the most notable works reflecting these themes include ''[[The First Days of Spring]]'' (1929), ''[[The Great Masturbator]]'' (1929), and ''[[The Lugubrious Game]]'' (1929). Several of Dalí's intimates in the 1960s and 1970s have stated that he would arrange for selected guests to perform choreographed sexual activities to aid his voyeurism and masturbation.<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997) p. 534</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Dali's surreal world of orgies and onanism: Dirty Dali: A Private View |url=https://www.scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-and-entertainment/dalis-surreal-world-orgies-and-onanism-2462086 |website=The Scotsman |date=4 June 2007 |access-date=21 November 2020 |archive-date=29 November 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201129112906/https://www.scotsman.com/whats-on/arts-and-entertainment/dalis-surreal-world-orgies-and-onanism-2462086 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{cite journal|last=Sewell|first=Brian|date=1 January 2007|title=The Dalí I knew|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/exhibitions/the-dali-i-knew-6587130.html|journal=[[This Is London (website)|This is London]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070707184041/http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/arts/article-23398918-details/The+Dali+I+knew/article.do|archive-date=7 July 2007}}</ref>

In 1936, at the premiere screening of [[Joseph Cornell]]'s film ''[[Rose Hobart (film)|Rose Hobart]]'' at Julien Levy's gallery in New York City, Dalí knocked over the projector in a rage.
