Some Challeneges he had faced throughout his career is that his mother died of cancer when he was 16 years old. He got kicked out of the academy and then came back and then got expelled from there. Also in 1980 he was forced to retire due to motor disorder that caused permanent trembling and weakness in his hands.
The mediums that Dali uses is Drawing, oil painting, engraving, lithograpght, scalpture and collages. and he followed the Impressionism, futurism, cubism, and surrealism.
The Three most famous paintings he is famous for is :

And One thing most people might not know about Salvador Dali is that when he was Five years old, his parents took him to his older brothers grave and told him he was his brother's reincarnation.
What a 'stache! I bet he was a really interesting person to know. I got to see several pieces by him at the art museum in Chicago this summer. What a strange thing for his parents to tell him...I bet that messed with his head for years to come.
