Surrealism is an art form that started in the 1920′s. Some of it’s artists are still popular: Salvador Dali and Joan Miro are still almost household names. Art lovers certainly will have heard of them and have seen (reproductions of) their work. Tribute to their popularity are the art calendars made yearly that reproduce some of their fascinating pieces.
Painter, sculptor, writer and film maker, Salvador Dali (1904 – 1989) was one of the century’s greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics– and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting. Dali brought extraordinary sensitivity, imagination and concern for precision to bear upon submerged levels of consciousness.
The calendar features 52 surreal paintings plus plenty of space for all of your notes and appointments.
