Salvador Dalí i Domènech
(1904-1989)
A Spanish surrealist artist master. Dali made dream-like scenes and showed situations that would be bizarre or impossible in real life, including paintings, sculptures, and films. Most of the time we are not aware of our unconscious mind, but sometimes the memories stored there get mixed up in our dreams which were what Dali tried to express. Dali's artistic genius lies in his flexibility. Throughout his lifetime, he never limited himself to any particular style of art or any media. Dali was continually evolving himself and his art as he moved from the Early to the Surreal to the Classic Periods. Even on an intellectual level, Dali was always on the cutting edge. Dali’s use of symbolism and intellectual insight make him one of the finest 20th-century contemporary artists.
