Surrealism Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali was a Spanish surrealist artist. He has many recognizable pieces like "The Persistence of Memory" (right) Surrealism was very influential in most of the graphic design we have today.










As I see it this form of design has been used in movies, books, video games, and posters. Many artists on deviant art create surrealistic art. Also movies like "Up" and "Alice In Wonderland" were very surreal. Surrealism was a well put together combination of fact and fantasy. Video games like "Soul Reaver" and "Kingdom Hearts" were perfect examples as such.

I believe graphic design would be far different without surrealism, it plays an important role within the realm of graphic design. The Dada movement also had an important role because this is what Surrealism was influenced by. This enveloped different political ideas, and philosophies.
