The First Days of Spring (1929 - oil & collage on panel)

Surrealist Salvador Dali is no doubt one of the most influential painters of the 20th century and is most well known for his work with oil on canvas including his paintings The Persistence of Memory and his much acclaimed Hallucinogenic Toreador, but Dali also employed the use of collage methods on numerous occasions to great effect. Here are a few examples of his work which incorporate collage elements. (For more by Salvador Dali, don’t miss Dali’s Adventures In Wonderland at Uncommon Nonsense)
