Look at Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali
Salvador Dali was born in 1904 and was given the same name as a brother who died several years previous. ... Some of Salvador’s early paintings, even as an early artist at the age of 10, included portraits of his family. ... It was also his father that arranged for Salvador’s first exhibit. Later in life, the artist’s father would separate himself from his son for many years due to a love in Salvador’s life. Portraits of Dali’s younger sister, actually some of my favorite of the artist, seemed to endear her yet, like his father, the relationship waned after she wrote a book about the artist’s early life. ... Gala was important in Salvador’s success not only be being his companion but also by serving as business manager and modeling for many of his works. In spite of, or maybe because of, Dali’s eccentric personality, he is known as one of the greatest artist of the twentieth century, and especially of the Surrealist style.
