Gallery Description
Surrealism is a style of art and literature that developed principally in the 20th century, stressing the subconscious or nonrational significance of imagery that arrived due to certain unexpected juxtapositions, etc. Started in Dada in 1920’s, surrealism grew in the period between World War I and II. In this style, fantastic visual imagery from the subconscious mind is used with no intention of making the artwork logically comprehensible. 'Surrealism' attempts to further our understanding of the human condition by seeking ways of fusing together our perceived conscious reality with our unconscious dream state.
A flamboyant painter, Salvador Dali was probably the single best-known Surrealist artist; he was known to use bizarre dream imagery to create unforgettable and unmistakable landscapes of his inner world. His most famous work is The Persistence Of Memory. Dali was a controversial surrealist and often clashed with members of the "official" Surrealist circle over the content of his paintings and the right-wing views and was soon thrown out of the group. But he had only this to say, “The only difference between me and the Surrealists is that I am a Surrealist.”
Our gallery brings you a collection of Salvador Dali’s surrealistic paintings.
