Salvador Dalí
Instantly recognizable by his waxed, upturned mustache, the flamboyant Salvador Dalí is one of modern art’s most distinctive figures. He is also one of the icons of the 20-century avant-garde Surrealist movement, whose dreamlike images, drawn from the depths of the unconscious, he deployed in paintings, sculptures, prints and fashion, as well as in film collaborations with Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock.
Dalí was born in Figueres, Catalonia, and even as a youngster, displayed the sensitivity, sharp perception and vivid imagination that would later define his artworks. In these, he conjured childhood memories and employed religious symbols and Freudian imagery like staircases, keys and dripping candles to create unexpected, often shocking pieces.
Dalí's use of hyperrealism in conveying Surrealist symbols and concepts that subvert accepted notions of reality is epitomized in what is perhaps his most recognizable painting, The Persistence of Memory (1931), in which he depicts the fluidity of time through melting clocks, their forms inspired by Camembert cheese melting in the sun. His artistic genius, eccentric personality and eternal quest for fame made him a global celebrity.
“Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure,” he once said. “That of being Salvador Dalí.”

- "Don Quixote" [Silver Edition] Bas Relief Sculpture with Case by Salvador DalíBy Salvador DalíLocated in Encino, CA"Don Quixote," an original silver edition bas relief with previous metal patina by Salvador Dalí, is a piece for the true collector. Cervantes' novel, Don Quixote, is perhaps one of Dalí's most famous recurring themes – his muse, only secondary to that of his wife, Gala. Dalí's ability to capture emotion in its simplest form is evident in this exceptionally executed work. This piece of art would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for Dalí's works, surrealism, Don Quixote, Cervantes, Spanish literature, or figurative art. Not so easily seen from the images is the unique three-dimensionality of the work, with the main subject projecting out at the viewer. This is a highly collectible work, which includes its original presentation case. Forty-one years after it was produced, it is rare to find Dalí bas reliefs...Category
