Picasso and Dali
Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso were the most famous artists of their time, and only Jackson Pollock might compete with them as the most influential on the art of the 21st century.
Although born more than 20 years apart (Picasso in 1881, Salvador Dali in 1904), both artists were shaped by the cultural heritage of their native Spain and propelled into modern art by the intellectual vitality of Barcelona in the 1890s and first decades of the 20th century.
Dalí's admiration for the older artist was boundless. When he first traveled to Paris in 1926, Dalí paid homage to Picasso by telling the already world-renowned master that he had come to meet Picasso before even visiting the Louvre.
In following decades, Dalí and his wife, Gala, deluged Picasso with about 100 letters and postcards currying favor (Picasso's side of the correspondence is unknown). In 1934, Picasso demonstrated his respect for Dalí by paying Dalí's passage to New York
