[QUOTE="Michie, post: 77675118, member: 628"] 120 years ago today, [B]Salvador Dali[/B] was born. Known for his striking and bizarre images, he is one of, if not the most famous surrealist painter in history. Inspired by the Renaissance masters, Dali nevertheless gravitated to the surrealist movements in the early 20th century.
