Salvador Dalí

1904–1989

Salvador Dalí was a Spanish Surrealist artist, a master of self-promotion, and a prolific writer whose literary output mirrored the hallucinatory and often paradoxical nature of his visual art. His writings were characterized by a unique blend of autobiography, psychoanalytic exploration, and absurdist pronouncements, deeply intertwined with his lifelong fascination with Freudian theory and the subconscious.
