Dali is one of the most important surrealistic painters and most eccentric ofll artists of the Modern Age. His old-school techniques contrasted sharplyith the other Surrealists, which led to his expulsion from the group. Death,ecay and destruction are often repeated themes, influenced by Max Ernst,iorgio de Chirico and the writing of Sigmund Freud. He described his styles a 'paranoid-critical method'. Sexual and religious content is mixed withighly subjective and personal sensations. Dali's oeuvre extends beyondainting to include sculptures, films, jewelery and glass objects. His lifeas marred by an early identity crisis, which lead to Dali living his lifeetween exaggerated self-promotion and psychological self-destruction. Gala,is wife and muse, was always able to save him from the latest crisis. But itas Dali himself who invented himself as a commercial object.
