By the time she met the budding artist Salvador Dali in 1929, Gala was known as the Mother of Surrealism. She rapidly became his mentor and protector, marrying him in 1934 and subsequently engineering their vast fortune. At a time when artists were celebrities, Gala acted as the ambassador of the Surrealist movement, spreading its popularity across the globe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGala was a heroine whose originality captivated people wherever she went, and her life story has everything : glamour; drama; passion; ambition; money; art; defiance and daring.
