A community portal about Salvador Dali with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali Domenech, Marquis of Pubol or Salvador Felip Jacint Dali Domènech, known popularly as Salvador Dali, was a Spanish artist and one of the most important painters of the 20th century. He was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking, bizarre, and beautiful images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His best known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. Salvador Dali's artistic repertoire also included film, sculpture, and photography. He collaborated with Walt Disney on the Academy Award -nominated short cartoon Destino, which was released posthumously in 2003. Born in Catalonia, Spain, Dali insisted on his "Arab lineage," claiming that his ancestors descended from the Moors who invaded Spain in 711, and attributed to these origins, "my love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes."
