Best Answer

He feared insects.

Salvador Dalí was 1.72 m (5ft 7-3/4 in), according to his prison record when he was 20 years old. However his hairdresser/biographer Luis Llongueras says Dalí was 1.74 m (5ft 8-1/2in) tall.

Actually Dali's fear of insects was an important face. He added ants to his most important and most talked about work, "The Persistence of Memory". Other important works included grasshoppers, flies and other insects. These icons helped to shape Dali's persona. You can see more examples of these works online, try salvadordaliexperts.com as an example. Look for the "Persistence of Memory" and notice the ants in the image.

Dali's painterly skills were influences by the Renaissance masters, he was also influenced by Dadaism which remained a constant influence throughout all his work. His classical influences included Raphael, Bronzino, Francisco de Zurbaran, Jan Vermeer. He used both classical and modernist techniques, sometimes in separate works, and sometimes combined. Dalí grew a flamboyant moustache, influenced by 17th-century Spanish master painter Diego Velazquez. The moustache became an iconic trademark of his appearance for the rest of his life.
