Surreal Art
There are many who create surreal art, but is the art of their own imagination or are they borrowing from others. Some even create art that looks like works by Dali, they add Dali's name and other things related to Dali to the keywords of posts etc., to try and draw the public to images that they then "imply" are by the hand of Salvador Dali. It is important that when you are looking at surreal art and surrealism, to make sure you are clear as to what artists you are looking at, I recently had an email come in from someone asking, "What is the title of this Dali painting?" My reply was very simple... "That is not a Dali painting"
