Who was Salvador Dalí?

A 20th century painter, sculptor, filmmaker, printmaker and performance artist. He is one of the most famous Surrealists.

What is Surrealism?

“Surrealist artists…seek to explore the unconscious mind as a way of creating art, resulting in dreamlike, sometimes bizarre imagery across endless mediums. The core of Surrealism is a focus on illustrating the mind’s deepest thoughts automatically when they surface.”
