  1. Salvador Dalí: Artist without boundaries.

  2. Just the facts: • Who: Salvador Domingo Felipe Dalí • When: 1904-1989 • What: Surrealist artist, famous for unusual work in painting, cinema and other artistic areas. • Best known work: Persistence Of Memory ( also known as the Melting Clocks) • Where: Born in Figueras, Spain , museum in his name in St. Petersburg , Florida • Why: Anarchist and communist, did not believe in government or limits of society as we know it. • How: Dalí was a fan of Renaissance artists, particularly Velasquez . He also belonged to a rebellious group of artists called anarchists.

  3. La Persistencia de Memoria 1931 Dalí got the idea for this piece by observing a block of melting Camembert cheese. The clocks melting symbolizes the idea that time is “relative” from the then popular new theory by Einstein we call “The Theor y of Relativity”. What unusual elements do you notice in this painting?

  4. Muchacha en la ventana 1924 The model for this painting was actually Dalí’s younger sister whom he used frequently in his early work. Where do you think this young “muchacha” is? What questions would you ask her?

  5. The Discovery of America by Christopher Columbus 1959 Dalí began this work in his effort to produce the greatest number of large canvases of any other artist because a critic said these were the only true “great works”. He also was commissioned this piece by the millionaire A. Reynolds Morse. In the picture notice that Columbus is a young man to symbolize that America was a new country with bright future. The Catholic symbols show that the Spaniards brought with them Catholicism, the only true religion. How would the journalists react today to the idea that there is only one religion?
