Who are the three artists that were most famous for Surrealism?
1 Answer
The three artists that were most famous for Surrealism are arguably Salvador Dalí, Max Ernst and Man Ray. Dalí is one of the best-known icons of the 20th-century avant-garde Surrealist movement. His dreamlike images, drawn from the depths of the unconscious, were deployed in paintings, sculptures, prints and fashion, as well as in film collaborations with Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock. Max Ernst was a pioneer in both the Dada and Surrealist movements, the boundaries of which he pushed with his unconventional methods of printmaking, drawing and collage. Ray was a famous American filmmaker, painter and photographer who achieved commercial success and worldwide acclaim with his uncanny images. On 1stDibs, shop a range of Surrealist art.
