Salvador Dali was born in Figueras, Spain, the son of a notary
whose family came from Cadaques on the Costa Brava. The Dali family
spent their summers in Cadaques, and it is this landscape that appears
over and over in the artist's work, either as background or as an
integral part of the composition. Dali began his career as an enfant
terrible in the schools of Figueras and then went to the School of
Fine Arts in Madrid where he quickly learned the fundamentals of
drawing.
