Salvador Dalí

Available for over a year

Naomi Alderman returns with her series that explores the minds of the greatest thinkers in history. From political theorists to scientists to inventors, authors and artists. Our world is based on their ideas and innovations. How did they do their work, what did they struggle with, where did they find their dedication, creativity and inspiration? Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí perfected the art of double-meanings in his memorable visual art. What can we learn from the mind who encourages us to find the deeper, hidden sub-text in the world around us? Special thanks to Dawn Ades, Professor Emerita of the History and Theory of Art at the University of Essex. Produced by BBC Studios in partnership with The Open University.
