The Father of Surrealism...I am obsessed with Salvador Dali. If you do some research, you find that objects in his paintings have meaning. For example, whenever you see a grasshopper, it represents his mother. He was insanely brilliant. To be able to paint the dreamworld so "realisitically".

I do like his work a lot.
Some of his paintings are capable of transmitting his own fears from the future, or his very inner thoughts.
The fact that most of his work has the look of a dream, or a nightmare puts him aside from other artists, and styles.
The only other two artists which appeal to my taste on the Surrealistic movement are Remedios Varo, a Spanish woman radicated in Mexico, and Leonora Carrington, an english citizen also living in Mexico.

He is one of the BEST! The way he percieves life and applies that through art is incredible. He really was a crazy man, but that's what makes him so good.
I love his moustache too!

a great painter, surrealist artist that came from the dadaist movement which is an anti-aesthetic movement, relies on unusual perspectives and symbols to express realistic but not logical elements of dreams, one of his popular work is "the persistence of memory".

yep. i dig him too. surrealism exalts the bizarre and incites the viewer to look at things differently. besides, any friend of andy warhol is undoubtedly as fascinating as they come.

Love the man. He takes reality and twists it slightly, interestingly.
