What is the style of Salvador Dalí?
1 Answer
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.
