Q: What does it mean for Winn Slavin to represent the works of Salvador Dal%u00ed?A: Salvador Dal%u00ed is one of the most iconic artists of the Modern Art period. In many ways, he redefined what it means to be an artist and laid the groundwork for Contemporary Art. So, our representation of Dal%u00ed%u2019s work is a good match for the living surrealist artists we represent, such as Sir Daniel Winn. A heritage of ideas, techniques, and compositions is carried forward.Q: How do you think Dal%u00ed%u2019s work continues to influence contemporary art today?A: Dal%u00ed was eclectic and controversial. On any given day, he could converse in-depth with Sigmund Freud or walk an anteater through the Paris Metro. He was outrageous, irreverent, and a consummate marketeer. So, Dal%u00ed%u2019s influence on Contemporary Art is both artistic and practical. He%u2019s undoubtedly the best-known Surrealist whose radical approach to technique and subject matter expanded the definition of fine art.
