I have a dimmer problem but will not bore you with the details unless
someone knows something about DALI.
Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dal* i Domènech, Marquis of Dal* de
Púbol (11 May 1904 23 January 1989), known professionally as Salvador
Dal* (/ˈdɑːli, dɑːˈli/[1][2] Catalan: [səɫβəˈðo ðəˈɫi]; Spanish:
[salβaˈðoɾ ðaˈli]), was a prominent Spanish surrealist artist born in
Figueres, Catalonia, Spain.
Dal* was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre
images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed
to the influence of Renaissance masters.[3][4] His best-known work, The
Persistence of Memory, was completed in August 1931. Dal*'s expansive
artistic repertoire included film, sculpture, and photography, in
collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media.
Dal* attributed his "love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my
passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes"[5] to an "Arab
lineage", claiming that his ancestors were descended from the Moors.
Dal* was highly imaginative, and also enjoyed indulging in unusual and
grandiose behavior. His eccentric manner and attention-grabbing public
actions sometimes drew more attention than his artwork, to the dismay of
those who held his work in high esteem, and to the irritation of his
critics.[6][7]
