Salvador Dali — The Most Known Surrealist Artist
Salvador Dali went down in history books as
the most memorable surrealist artist and one of the grandest artists of all
time. Today, his name rings a bell even with people who are foreign
to art, so known Dali's genius remains to be. Opinions may be divided, but no one
can question the sublime
of thought and the unprecedented style of this terrific Spanish master. Lots
have been said and written, but every time the name of Salvador Dali sounds, we
all should appreciate the opportunity to recap the impact of his art on the
whole art world since this effect is palpable even today.
Salvador Dali: a modern
legend of surreal art
The figure
of Salvador Dali always lies alongside such famous
artists as Pablo Picasso, Vincent Van Gogh, Frida Kahlo, and Claude
Monet. Born in 1904 in Figueres, Catalonia, Dali received his education in fine
arts in Madrid. Cubism and avant-garde art led him to Surrealism, a niche where he later became the most iconic artist.
Nuclear mysticism, a phrase coined by Salvador
Dali himself, was his core approach to creating art. His repertoire included
painting, sculpture, photography, film, design, and fashion. Everything he did
was a product of his imagination and the evocation of his feelings and
plumbless personality yet to be understood in full. Dali was a pioneer of surreal
art and a builder of modernity. Being ahead of time, the Spanish
genius created the whole magical legacy that greatly contributed to the
appearance of pop art, controversial art, and contemporary art as we know it today.
“Painting is an infinitely minute part of
my personality,” Dali once said and explained how much art became his essence
of life and vice versa. An embodiment of surrealism, a trailblazer, a magician,
Salvador Dali has marked the history of art with
his mesmeric paintbrush and remains an icon to be
remembered for many
years to come.
