Dalí, un estudiante traviesoWhile in Madrid, Dalí became known
for his excentric outfits, such as a disproportionately large tie and a cape that dragged the ground.
Dalí did not get along with his teachers, and he was expelled twice.
He never took his final exams, because he didn’t think that any of the teachers were qualified to examine his work.
El bigote famoso de DalíIn the 1920’s Dalí
grew his famous moustache.
He grew it because of the influence of Diego Velásquez, a famous Spanish painter.

Influencias artísticas
Dalí went to Paris in 1926, where he met Picasso, for whom he had a great deal of respect.
Picasso’s influence is seen in many of Dalí’s paintings.
In 1929 Dalí joined a group of surrealists living in Paris.
El surrealismo
The founder of surrealism was Andre Breton.
Breton thought that all the world’s problems were caused by rational thinking.
In Breton’s opinion, rational thinking is what led to World War I.
El surrealismo
Instead of rational thinking, surrealism focuses on the subcon-scious mind.
According to Breton, dreams and fantasy should be expressed without editing.
Sleep, 1937
El surrealismo
Both Breton and Sigmund Freud influenced Dalí.
Some years after Dalí joined the group of surrealists, Breton rejected him, accusing him of supporting fascism, of excessive, selfish publicity and of financial greed.
En sus propias palabras

“The difference between the surrealists and me is that I am a surrealist.”
