1933 Salvador Dali had his first one-man show in New York. But Gala continued to manage Dali's business affairs. However from around 1965 on, the couple was seen less frequently together. In 1934 Dali and Gala were married in a civil ceremony in Paris and in 1958 in church after Gala's former husband had died in 1952. Gala was legally divorced from her husband in 1932. And she managed his success in the 1930s with exhibitions in Europe and the United States. Most of all Gala was a stabilizing factor in his life. She became his companion, his muse, his sexual partner, his model in numerous art works and his business manager. When he met her, she was married to Paul Eluard. She was a Russian immigrant and ten years older than Dali. Meeting Gala was the most important event in the artist's life and decisive for his future career. No wonder that the artist was a great admirer of the Italian Renaissance painter Raphael. His great craftsmanship allowed him to execute his paintings in a nearly photo-realistic style. Recurring images of burning giraffes and melting watches became the artist's surrealist trademarks. The surrealist theory is based on the theories of the psychologist Dr. By 1929 Dali had found his personal style that should make him famous the world of the unconscious that is recalled during our dreams. Years later Breton turned away from Dali accusing him of support of fascism, excessive self-presentation and financial greediness. He established himself as the principal figure of a group of surrealist artists grouped around Andre Breton, who was something like the theoretical ''schoolmaster'' of surrealism.
In 1928 Dali went to Paris where he met the Spanish painters Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro.
His opinion was that he was more qualified than those who should have examined him. He was expelled twice and never took the final examinations. Dali began to study art at the Royal Academy of Art in Madrid. In 1923 his father bought his son his first printing press. His art teachers were a then well known Spanish impressionist painter, Ramon Pichot and later an art professor at the Municipal Drawing School. His talent as an artist showed at an early age and Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali received his first drawing lessons when he was ten years old.
