03/28/2005 | Awesome. The best painter of the 20th Century. I also enjoy Magritte and James Marsh in the Surrealist genre.

04/06/2004 | No one ever said Dali didn't have a sense of humor, but I'm afraid the joke is on everyone who would give someone who can't draw a five star rating.

03/29/2004 | Well, I'm clearly in the minority here, but I think this is an artist without a soul, a draughtsman whose talent extends to his elbow and never reaches his brain. Of all the surrealists he is the best known and for me, the least interesting. Compare his work with that of Magritte and there is no doubt who the genius is. And it isn't Dali.

03/19/2003 | Surrealism defined: Salvador Dali. To paint something that does not exist in any space but the mind so that it is believable is a difficult task, but Dali masters this. His images are often disturbing, echoing his psyche, but it's so interesting and well-painted! By far one of my favorite artists!

01/17/2002 | I would be willing to bet that when most people utter the phrase “How surreal!” in the back of their minds they envision Dali’s melting clocks. (Or, is that just me?) Viewing his work takes me back to a long ago art class field trip to the local art museum. Then and now, I enjoy his work on a certain level – curiosity I think. It is at once disturbing and compelling. I must look – but it can make me a little confused and leaves me slightly cold. In his flamboyant and odd way Dali was an undeniable creative genius.

11/04/2001 | By far the greatest artist of all time. Dali's paintings displayed the horrors of the troubled human psyche. Very powerful artwork, one can sit and gaze at it for hours, and not even absorb half of its splendor. Where is this tormented genius's recognition?

05/08/2001 | Dali is the most interesting painter to emerge during the 20th Century. His "Persistence of Memory" is one of the most exciting and recognizable pieces EVER! The melting clocks of "Persistence..." actually look to be melting- as if one could pour them into a glass and consume them. His mastery of lines and color fuses so beautifully with his slightly demented vision. Being one of the forerunners of Surrealist movement in the 20's, he also experimented with film. "Le Chien Andalou" (a film he created with another surrealist master, Luis Bunuel) is one of the most haunting and memorable films ever to be captured on celluloid. (That's the film where a man slices a woman across the eye with a razor blade and ants consume an amputated hand as a man pokes at it with his cane.) All in all, I have to say that yes, indeed, Salvador Dali was a revolutonary artist and most certainly, a genius!
