  Catalan IPA: [ˌkʰætəlˈæn] (català IPA: [kə.tə'la] or [ka.ta'la]) is a Romance language, the national language of Andorra and one of several co-official languages in the Spanish autonomous communities of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. Spain has the majority of active Catalan speakers. It is spoken or understood by approximately 7 million people (although approximately only half of them have it as a mother language) who live not only in Andorra and Spain but also in parts of southwestern France (most of Pyrénées Orientales) and in the city of Alghero in Sardinia, Italy.
 Salvador Felip Jacint Dalí Domènech (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989), known popularly as Salvador Dalí, was a Catalan artist who became one of the most important painters of the 20th century. A skilled draftsman, he is best known for his surrealist work identified by its striking, bizarre, dreamlike images. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. His best known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. In addition to painting, his artistic repertoire included film, sculpture, photography, and an Academy Award–winning short cartoon, "Destino," on which he collaborated with Walt Disney; it was released posthumously in 2003. An artist of great imagination, Dalí had an affinity for doing unusual things to draw attention to himself. This sometimes irked those who loved his art as much as it annoyed his critics, since his eccentric manner sometimes drew more public attention than his artwork.
