His painterly skills * are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His * best-known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. * Dalí's expansive artistic repertoire included film, sculpture, and * photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of * media. * * Dalí attributed his "love of everything that is gilded and * excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes" to a * self-styled "Arab lineage", claiming that his ancestors were descended * from the Moors. * * Dalí was highly imaginative, and also enjoyed * indulging in unusual and grandiose behavior. His eccentric manner and * attention-grabbing public actions sometimes drew more attention than his * artwork, to the dismay of those who held his work in high esteem, and * to the irritation of his critics. * *
