Surrealism completely raised the creativity bar in the art world to a whole knew level, it makes people think about art in a different way. Therefore , one of the things Dali is most famous for now is surrealism , also, thank you Salvador Dali for breeding this exquisite type of art for the human eye of society to capture and define.
What others thought about Dali
"Art is about imagination. When you look at a picture from Salvador Dali, that's about imagination. When you look at Picasso, that's about imagination. Doing stuff from your heart. " LL Cool J
"From 17 to 21, I was obsessed by sport and art. In art, I loved the pre-Raphaelites and Rembrandt first. Then I discovered Salvador Dali, and it was like finding something I already knew." Anthony Browne
Dali has changed society with his wonderful artistic talent and spirit. Dali brought about nonsensical reality during a time when poverty and war dominated our society giving us a visual canvas to take ourselves out of suffering and place in a more playful feeling. So therefore society was given hope through his art.
