Dali, Salvador Felipe Jacinto
Dali, Salvador Felipe Jacinto ( 1904 – 89 ),Spanish painter, writer, and showman, born in Figueres, Catalonia. He was already in debt to Surrealism before he joined the movement in 1929 after making the film Un chien andalou with Luis Buñuel . His most arresting paintings were produced approximately between 1925 and 1938 , including The Great Masturbator ( 1929 ). The essay on Millet's Angélus (written c. 1934 ) is his most original theoretical work. The Secret Life of Salvador Dali ( 1942 ) is an amusing if unreliable guide to his early exploits, and the novel Hidden Faces ( 1944 ) is a not unimpressive attempt to advertise the virtues of unconsummated love. See Ian Gibson , The Shameful Life of Salvador Dali ( 1997 ).
