Who is the grandfather of Surrealism?
1 Answer
The grandfather of Surrealism was Giuseppe Arcimboldo. Active during the Italian Renaissance, the painter predated Surrealism by 400 years, but his imaginative portraits inspired Salvador Dalí and other Surrealists. He was particularly well-known for substituting fruits, vegetables and other foods for the facial features of his subjects. Some of his most famous paintings include Vertumnus, The Librarian, Summer and The Jurist. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Surrealist art.
