Salvador Dalí just couldnt help being himself. When he was little, he wasnt like the other children; he was a day dreamer who liked to play pretend. When he grew up, he became an artist, but he didnt want to make art that looked like everyone elses. He became the most famous painter of his time after he made a picture of melting clocks. He liked to do wild, attention-grabbing things: He drove a fancy car stuffed with 1,000 pounds of cauliflower. He gave a speech inside a deep-sea diving suit. And he took his pet ocelot Babou to lunch at snooty restaurants. He designed lollipop wrappers in exchange for free candy, a lobster phone that really worked, and a hat made out of a shoe! Heres the true story of the one and only Salvador Dalí, an artist who never stopped being himself.
