Own a Salvador Dali In Honor of His Birthday!

During the 1920s, Paris was indeed the Mecca and Madina for artists of all sorts. The city offered a lavish and bohemian atmosphere suitable for any form of expression, so being eccentric at that time in Paris was quite fashionable. At one point, the man with a flamboyant mustache appeared, and in a short while he conquered the entire art scene and practically took over the role of the most popular artist, and that was no other than Salvador Dalí.

Throughout the years, the Spanish-born Surrealist master gained enormous fame, perhaps even more during the post-war period. Dalí was more than a skillful painter, he also produced memorable sculptures and objects, was engaged with cinema, as well as with fashion, photography, and even architecture. By embracing celebrity culture, he developed an image of a deranged artist acting out the stereotype, and his every public appearance was sort of a performance.

Today, on May 11, Dalí would have turned 115. He passed away three decades ago and left a considerable mark on art and society. We decided to celebrate his birthday by selecting ten astonishing Dali works which you can add to your collection right away.
