More on Dali: Salvador Dalí was an icon of Surrealism, the 20th-century avant-garde movement that sought to release unconscious creative potential through art that featured dreamlike imagery. Dalí's fantastical prints, paintings, sculptures, films, and writing helped cement the movement's identity. Working off psychoanalytic ideas, Dalí rendered fantastical creatures and landscapes that could unsettle and awe. Dalí exhibited widely in his lifetime, and his works belong in the collections of institutions including the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. BE@RBRICKS: BE@RBRICKs are among the world's most collectible objects. While the plastic teddy-bear figurines have been decorated with innumerable patterns over the years, classic collaborations feature the iconography of artists including Jean-Michel Basquiat, Keith Haring, and KAWS, and brands such as Chanel, A Bathing Ape (BAPE), and Disney.
