Dali\u2019s Adventures In Wonderland<\/h1>\n

Surrealist Salvador Dali<\/em><\/a>\u00a0was certainly one of the most influential & well known painters of the 20th century, but it\u2019s not so widely known that he was also a gifted filmmaker, photographer, writer and illustrator. Eccentric by nature, it is no surprise that Dali <\/em>was drawn to creating works to illustrate stories that touched upon his own surrealistic sensibilities, such tales as Dante<\/em>\u2019s Divine Comedy<\/strong>, Don Quixote<\/strong>, Macbeth<\/strong>, and of course Lewis Carroll<\/em>\u2019s Alice In Wonderland<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
