Who are two famous Surrealist artists?
1 Answer
Two famous Surrealist artists are Max Ernst and Salvador Dalí. Ernst's greatest contribution to the Surrealist movement was his invention of frottage (French for “rubbing”), wherein an artist rubs a pencil or crayon over a paper atop a textured surface, and later grattage (French for “scraping”), where a similar technique is applied with paint. Dalí was well-known for using hyperrealism in his paintings, sculptures, prints, fashions and films to convey Surrealist symbols and concepts that subvert accepted notions of reality. Some other Surrealist artists include Man Ray, Joan Miró, René Magritte, Yves Tanguy, Frida Kahlo and Meret Oppenheim. On 1stDibs, shop a wide range of Surrealist art.
