Dali studied art
in Madrid and Barcelona. During the late 1920´s, Dalí became
affiliated with the Paris Surrealists and from there evolved many
of his notable artistic techniques. At that time, too, he worked
with Spanish film director Luis Buñuel in the makings of two surrealistic
films titled Un
Chien andalou (1928) and L'Âge d'or
(1930).
The difference
between false memories and true ones is the same as for jewels:
it is always the false ones that look the most real, the most
brilliant. Salvador Dali, from The Secret Life
of Salvador Dali (1948)
