Painting: One of the bests in my area

Hi,
For me is very difficult to choose just one person who I think that could be the best. In fact, I believe that it's difficult not only for me, but art critics, historians, etc. But what I do can write about is about someone that in my opinion fulfills all the requirements to be "the best" or, at least, one of them.


Salvador Dalí


Spanish painter, known as one of the most eccentric and craziest persons of the 20th century. Histrionic, intelligent, creative and over all talented, Dalí represented dreams, guided by the movement of surrealism, as no one could do. Even more than precursors of this movement. I think he was the best in that area. Apart from this, he did more types of art and communication like sculptures, movies or commercials.
I Like him because of his capacity of create credible scenes of dreams (specially about theories of Freud) and then, when he was older, mixed that oneiric world with ideas of nuclear physics.
Besides I love his biography (full of weird stories, like he was expelled of his art academy because in a exam he didn`t answered about an oral test of Miguel Angel because he said that knew more about him that his professors) and his personality. It fits very well with the times in wich he lived. The truth is, that I like this painter too because I like the 20th century and all its rushed causes and different times that people had to live.
But not only for his eccentric life or for surrealism that I find him the best. I think that his way of painting is incredible and Dalí was really a person full of imagination. And I aprecciate both characteristics over the rest. Although I think that some people who I can were bests in painting too were: Vincent Van Gogh, Caravaggio, Jacques Louis David, Da Vinci and many others.

Even more than INITIATORS of this movement. I think he was the best in that area. Apart from this, he MADE OTHER types of art and communication like sculptures, movies or commercials.
