In full he was, Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dali Dom'nech, celebrated for melting clocks and eerily long-legged elephants.

Salvador Dali­, a surrealism icon, had an eye for the strikingly bizarre, weird and wonderful. Recognised for drawing his concepts from the incongruous dream state, his innovation didnit just end on the canvas. Dali­ was also a writer, poet, critic, filmmaker, sculpturer, and photographer. The 1930s was an interesting decade for Dali­ he created some of his most iconic work, joined a group of surrealists, became embroiled in infidelity and then was kicked out of the group for his political values. His eccentricity earned him the limelight, just where he wanted to be renowned for his costumes, being an impenitent, self-declared genius and that moustache. Sadly, Dali­ became pierced with depression and ill-health in his final years and died at the age of 84. However, almost 100 years after his most famous work was created, Dali­ is still considered one of the greatest surrealist artists of all time. We hope you enjoy this gallery.
