Salvador Dali is one of the most controversial and successful artists of the 20th century. He was an enigma; was he the really great artist he claimed to be, or did his genius lay in his ability to make us believe he was?
He constantly re-invented himself and took every opportunity for self promotion.
For pure invention and the ability to produce remarkable imagery that often did not meet with general approval or public taste, Dali cannot be beaten.
Dali’s paintings lend themselves to almost endless opportunities for invention and creative thought.
