​Salvador Dalí belongs to the Surrealism movement, but he was also connected to Cubism and Modern Art. His artwork evolved over time, beginning with Impressionist paintings and later developing into surrealist and classical works. Dalí worked with many forms of art, including oil paintings, watercolors, drawings, sculptures, films, photography, jewelry, and performance pieces. Another famous artist during this time was Pablo Picasso, who was also associated with Cubism. Dalí was born on May 11, 1904, in Figueres, Spain. He attended the San Fernando Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid and later held his first one-man show in Paris, where he joined the Surrealist movement. However, he was eventually expelled from the group in 1934 after conflicts with its members. As Dalí moved away from Surrealism and entered his classical period, he created a series of large canvases focused on scientific, historical, and religious themes. In 1974, he opened the Teatro Museo in Figueres, Spain, followed by major retrospectives in Paris and London later in the decade.​
