What is the difference between Dalí and Magritte?

What is the difference between Dalí and Magritte?
The difference between Dalí and Magritte in terms of the artists’ work comes down to subject matter and style. Salvador Dalí used hyperrealism in painting Surrealist symbols and concepts that subverted accepted notions of reality and often featured in complex, highly detailed landscapes. On the other hand, René Magritte was less concerned with realism and symbolism. Instead, he challenged the notions of reality through mysterious disembodied figures and objects. He was also fond of repeating the same motifs and even painted multiple versions of single works, while Dalí did not. Shop a range of Salvador Dalí and René Magritte art on 1stDibs.
