=//Early Life//= He was born after a family tragedy. An older brother had died at the age of two. Dali was given his brother’s name Salvador. He lived in his dead brother’s room with all his old photographs and objects. The young Dali attended the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. Dali was expelled twice from the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid. The first time for refusal to take his final examination about his most admired painter Raphael, with the claim that he knows more than the professor who would quiz him. Soon after, with his father’s connections he returned to the Academy. The second time he was expelled he didn’t return to graduate from the Academy and in the end did not have a degree.

=//Getting Started//= Early recognition of Dali's talent came with his first one-man show, held in Barcelona in 1925. He became internationally known when three of his paintings were shown in the third annual Carnegie International Exhibition in Pittsburgh in 1928.

= = =//How did he devolop as an artist?//= Dali soon became a leader of the Surrealist Movement. His painting, Persistence of Memory (1931), is still one of the best- known surrealist works. But, as war approached, the apolitical Dali clashed with the Surrealists and was expelled from the Surrealist movement during a "trial" in 1934 (Dali was expelled because he identified with Nazism). He did, however, exhibit works in international surrealist exhibitions throughout the decade. By 1940 Dali was moving into a new style, which eventually became known as his “classic” period, showing too much involvement with science and religion.



=//How will he be remembered?//= Dali and Gala escaped from Europe during World War II, spending 1940-48 in America. These were very important years for the artist. The Museum of Modern Art in New York gave Dali his first major exhibit in 1941. This was followed in 1942 by the publication of Dali's autobiography, The Secret Life of Salvador Dali.

In conclusion, we have found Dali’s life complex, exciting and full of conflict, just as depicted in his art.

 * 1) Did you ever think you would become an artist?
 * 2) Did you study art at school?
 * 3) How did people react to your new type of art?

=//__Rationale__//= We have chosen to write about Dali, although there are other sites about him. These sites are unattractive and uninformative. We have chosen to include all information about him to a short attractive site. Many people do not know that Dali contributed much to art. One who studies art, studies painting and pictures, and concentrates less on the human creator behind them.

=//__Reflection__//:= We have learned that although Salvador Dali was considered crazy he was a great artist who started a whole new type of art by a creative mind that pushed all boarders. The paper taught us how to write, think, edit and revise our work. We learned how to read, summarize and write our new ideas in our own voice. We learned to avoid copying and pasting ideas we found that were written by others. We had enough time and the teacher helped us during our work. We found that the English on the Internet is hard but with the help of online dictionaries we managed well.
