Salvador Dali je utemeljio nadrealizam kao slikarski pokret,mada nadrealizam u stvari to nikada nije bio u pravom smislu te reči,već je uvek smatran kao način gledanja stvari.Ima jedna anegdota vezana za Dalija: Jednom je,kažu,došao Dali kod Picassa(oni su inače bili prijatelji)ali se ovaj upravo kupao.Iz kupatila je doviknuo Daliju:"Sačekaj me dok se istuširam!" Na šta mu je Dali odgovorio: "Dok se ti istuširaš ja ću postati slavan." Tako je i bilo. Inače Dali je u slikarstvu ostao poznat kao veliki ekscentrik.Živeo je u kući oblika jajeta.

Salvador i Pikaso nisu bili bas "prijatelji". Nisu se podnosili bas previse jer su bili suparnici, kako i sam Dali kaze. Kada je Salvador prvi put dosao kod Pikasa, koji je tada vec bio slavan, doziveo je potpuno hladan prijem koji se nikada nije promenio. Pikaso je u Evropi potpuno "pobedio" Dalija, koji u jednom momentu nije imao ni prebijene pare, a njegove slike niko nije kupovao.Razlog tome je upravo Pikaso, jer je kritika neprestano uporedjivala njih dvojicu i prednost uvek davala Pikasu (sa cim se inace moram sloziti), tako da je publika (EVROPSKA) smatrala Dalija prolaznom pojavom. Onda mu se ogodilo prosvetljenje i "odjurio" je u Ameriku gde je i napravio to sto jeste danas, ali u Evropi, Dali nikada nije, bar za zivota, postao cenjen !

O ukusima ne vredi raspravljeti, ali za mene je Pikaso-Pikaso. Neke njegove slike iz plave faze ili ruzicaste faze su ipak nesto posebno, klasa za sebe. Njegov kubisticki period mi se priznajem ne dopada previse. Dali je majstor, nema tu dileme, ali njegove slike su ipak vise namenjene publici, kao da ih je slikao sa svrhom da se dodvori gledaocu. Tek kada je pred kraj zivota poceo da slika ZA SEBE (alegorija, san koji nestaje, mrtva priroda sa grozdjem (crtez), sumrak...) slike pocinju da budu pravi Dali, kao na pocetku kada je dosao u Francusku.
Ima jedna lepa anegdota za obojicu. Jednom su pitali Pikasa koja je njegova najbolja slika, na sta je on odgovorio "Ona ispred koje ima najvise dece", a na isto pitanje na svojoj izlozbi, Dali je odgovorio, aludirajuci na Pikasov odgovor, "ona ispred koje neme nikoga"

Picasso je bio veliki genije ali ni Dali nije bio mali.Je li još neko primetio koliko su njegove slike slične animacijama u The Wall Pink Floyda?
