Salvador Dali (1904-1989) Born in Figueres Spain was a 20 th century artist who emerged as a central figure of Surrealism in the late 1920’s. His paintings of desolate landscapes and melting watches such as “Tear of Time” changed the course of modern art. Dali, like other Surrealists was enormously influenced by Freud, whose theories were incorporated into his method of viewing the world. Dali celebrated the irrational and painted in a style of hyper-realism that made the world hauntingly vivid. His paintings were full of hidden images like “Surrealist Flower” and ambiguous dramas as in “The Don Quixote Trilogy,” all of which can be viewed and purchased at the commemorative event.

Joan Miro (1893-1983) Born in Barcelona Spain , he is known for his playful art. His emblematic images make a naïve, childlike impression at first sight. In contrast to the image of his art, he was a solid, hard-working man who preferred to come to his gallery exhibitions in dark business suits. In the beginnings of his career he dabbled in painting styles that were fashionable at the turn of the century like Fauvism and Cubism. In 1921, he settled permanently in Paris . He met Pablo Picasso and Dali and became part of the Surrealist Movement.
