Very robust, fair and thoughtful piece. There was much in here about Dali I didn't know. Thanks Bailey!

What a cool legacy Dali left behind! His art is still among the most captivating ever produced today.

So interesting! Glad you did this one. I had no idea that all of his animals were stunts instead of pets. As I shared in my article about Kay Sage, I've managed to spend very little time researching the surrealists even though I love surrealist art ... I think because my lens of exploring art and mental health becomes extra complex with them as they were al so influenced by Freud, Jung, etc. I feel daunted! Love this article. <3

His art work survives and amazes. Not his personality. It’s a footnote
