Well, for starters, his name is spelled Salvador.
Now that you have that valuable information, you should be able
to find and easily access the TONS of books and info written about
him that are in EVERY LIBRARY AND BOOK STORE in the
world.
Glad to be of help.

That's Salvador Dali. If you want a very brief description look at
"http://www.smoss.org.za/" or use your local library. Every good
encylopedia should mention him too.

Oh, and i thought it was Salvatore Dada.
Dada plump nickle rider. Greasy elbow slider? Never hearrd of it!
Two questions:
- Is this group called alt.surrealism?
- What does Dali have to do with surrealism?
OK. How do you define surrealism? I'm just getting more into the area
myself. Dali, to me, seems to occupy the extreme edges of surrealism as
it melts into controlled insanity. The kind of surrealism which I am
most enjoying now is the works of Magritte. He can present interesting
and unexpected combinations with clarity.
I'm still working on my definition for surrealism. Seems to have
something to do with showing a universe where some of the rules can be
changed and rearranged.

He worked with the surrealists for a few years in the early 30's before
aesthetic and political differences (and Dali's venality and Narcissism)
caused the split.
L'Age D'or and Un Chien Andaolou were made when Dali was close to the
surrealists.

At last another Magritte fan on this group.

I think that's a good start, but I think, as did Breton, that surrealism
should also be part of acheiving a revoulution, That surrealism isn't
just about aesthetics, its about altering the way you think.

Yes, but did Magritte cash in on limited edition prints as well as Dali?
I found that aspect one of the more "shocking" aspects of Sal's
painting.
