Salvador Dali is a Spanish artist who lived from 1904-1989. He is known for being a Surrealist artist. The Surrealist movement is a movement in visual art and literature that flourished in Europe between World War I and World War II. The movement represented a reaction against the "rationalism" that guided the European powers in past history. Surrealism was a means of reuniting conscious and unconscious realms of experience so completely that the world of dream and fantasy would be joined together.
