As an artist, Salvador Dali was not
limited to a particular style or media. The body of his work, from early
impressionist paintings through his transitional surrealist works, and into his
classical period, reveals a constantly growing and evolving artist. Dali worked
in all media, leaving behind a wealth of oils, watercolors, drawings, graphics,
and sculptures, films, photographs, performance pieces, jewels and objects of
all descriptions.Dali expressed surrealism in everything he said and did. He was not just unconventional and dramatic; he was fantastic, shocking, and outrageous. Salvador Dali remains one of the great artistic innovators of all time, like Picasso, Matisse, Miro and Chagall, his place at the pinnacle of modern art history is assured.
As important, he left for posterity
the permission to explore all aspects of one’s own life and to give them
artistic expression. His excellence as a creative artist will always set a
standard for the art of the twentieth century.His artwork and influences can be seen almost everywhere around the world.
