Salvador Dali and Surrealism ~By Shreya Chakravarty At the mention of the word surrealism, the name that often comes to mind Salvador Dali. Salvador Dali’s life’s work centers on the use of surrealism to express himself in what we might call an unusual way. Dali remains one of the most controversial and paradoxical artists of the 20th century. Dali broke all conventions both in life and with his art as he was fascinated by the theoretical work of the great Sigmund Freud, who shaped the world of psychoanalysis.
