薩爾瓦多.達利(1904-1989)

1904年5月11日生於西班牙菲格拉斯，1989年1月23日逝世。西班牙超現實主義畫傢和版畫傢，以探索潛意識的意象著稱。達利是二十世紀最偉大的超現實主義畫傢，他與畢加索、馬蒂斯一起被認為是二十世紀最有代錶性的三個畫傢。

達利長達70年的藝術生涯充滿瞭傳奇色彩。他是一位具有卓越天纔和想象力的畫傢。在把夢境的主觀世界變成客觀而令人激動的形象方麵。達利的個性引起許多爭議，他的生活本身就是一個十足的超現實主義者。那些怪事和怪誕言論裏，給"巨匠們打分"已經成為達利的品牌。他在各種各樣的語言中造就瞭超現實主義這一個專有名詞，去錶示一種無理性的、色情的、瘋狂的而且是時髦的藝術。沒有人能夠否認得瞭他那無盡的纔能、想象能力或者他所顯示的強烈信心。

達利是一位多産藝術傢，一生創作瞭1500多幅畫作，而且還創作瞭大量版畫，素描，雕塑，書頁插圖及劇院設計。今天，他的這些作品價格在各大拍賣場一路攀升。
