Salvador Dali [1904-1989] was born on May 11th, 1904 in Figueras, a little village in the province of Gerona in Spain.
It is the favorable light of Cadaques that created in Dali as a child an irresistable vocation of painter that would permeate every work of the artist. At first an impressionnist, with a pallette rich in colors, he discovered cubism in 1921 and then formed friendships which influenced his intellectual and artistic evolution thereafter.

What a surreal wingding. I'm concerned about the melting fan, though.
I love Dali-- Gala was his muse and abuser, he was addicted to her, I guess. His museum in FL is so worth a visit. He was a genius on so many levels. he pondered everything and was wild about perfumes--he developed a few before he died, and his perfume company lives on. I believe he was responsible for the Dream sequence in the grest Hitchcock movie "Spellbound" he was one of those "everywhere, into everything" kind of guys.
