What is the style of Salvador Dalí?
The art style of Salvador Dalí is Surrealism. The Spanish artist is one of the icons of the 20th-century avant-garde art movement. Surrealism typically features dreamlike images inspired by the depths of the unconscious, and Dalí deployed this approach for paintings, sculptures, prints and fashion, as well as in film collaborations with Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock.

In 1923 his father bought his son his first printing press. Dali began to study art at the Royal Academy of Art in Madrid. He was expelled twice and never took the final examinations. His opinion was that he was more qualified than those who should have examined him. In 1928 Dali went to Paris where he met the Spanish painters Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro.
