Here we take a look at 20 amazing and some funny facts about him just for fun or maybe you can use them for a school project. Salvador Dali was born on 11 th May in Figueres, Spain. His brother, who was also called Salvador, had died nine months before Dali was born. Dali, who was encouraged by his parents, believed that he was his brother in another form, and this was often seen in his work.

Dali went to drawing school and the first time his work was shown to the public was in It was a series of charcoal drawings and the exhibition was organized by his father. This is terrible! His mother died in of cancer and he was extremely sad about it and it affected him badly. Dali then moved to Madrid to study at the School of Fine Arts. He experimented with a type of painting called cubism, which means that the painting was made up with a whole lot of little cubes.

Oh dear…he was expelled from the School of Fine Arts for causing some unrest! Clearly he was quite the naughty one. Dali joined the Surrealist group in the Montparnasse quarter of Paris. Surrealism in art is more about dreamlike images as opposed to lifelike paintings. It features the famous picture of the melting clock. When he returned to Paris after World War 2, he started experimenting with all sorts of things.
