The Surrealism movement brought out the dreamer in everyone during the 1920s. Having the freedom to differentiate reality from dreaming, artists of all trades were able to express what they envisioned.

Salvador Dalí is best known as the flamboyant and eccentric poster-boy of the Surrealist Movement. Born in 1904, Dalí spent the majority of his life working on various forms of his art, making him one of the most versatile artists of the twentieth century. While he is notorious for his paintings, he worked with many different mediums, which included sculpting, fashion, photography, and film.
