Salvador Dali in London 1959 Dalis paintings

Salvador Dali in London 1959
Dalis paintings, which he described as " hand painted dream photographs" combined conventional techniques with fantastic images. He became one of the most famous members of the surrealist movement, a group of artists, writers and film-makers based in Paris, who juxtaposed logical and illagical elements in their work. Dalis gift was for manipulating images, combining almost photographic realism with Freudian sysmbolism to create a hallucinatory dreamworld on canvas. From his first exhibition at age 25 he courted controversy, and cultivated eccentricity and paranoia as a way of stimulating the imagination. Certain images recur in his works, such as watches that appear to be melting in the sunlight. He lost favour with the Surrealists in the late 1930s when he settled in the US, and concentrated on symbolic religious paintings. As well as painting, Dali applied his teasing imagination to sculpture, writing and filmmaking, and acheived an international reputation that mixed popularity with notoriety
