Following his studies in Madrid
and participation in the renovating artistic debates
of the 1920s in Catalonia, Salvador Dalí left
for Paris and joined the Surrealist group of painters
and sculptors. Some of the works that were to make
him one of the greatest representatives of Surrealism.
In 1929 he met the young Russian girl Helena Diakonova,
known under the nickname of Gala, who would from that
time on become his model and girlfriend, and eventually
his wife. They spent the war years in America, where
they loved his style of painting, making him one of
the most famous painters of his time.
