According to the Dalí Museum (TDM), Dalí was born in Spain in 1904 to a Catholic mother and an atheist father, which shaped his surrealist style.
“From Montreal, London, and Spain to Tokyo, Venice, and the United States, Dalí's indescribable talent and extraordinary creativity have become a universal language of fearlessness, inspiration, and relentless self-expression,” notes the TDM website.
