Salvador Dalí
Spanish surrealist master who explored dreams, unconscious, and irrational. Dalí's melting clocks in The Persistence of Memory became surrealism's icon. His technical precision combined with bizarre imagery and self-promotion made him 20th century's most famous surrealist. Influenced by Freud, he painted dream logic and paranoia.
