Salvador Dali is seen as one of the most recognizable artists of the 20th century. It's probably a toss up between him and Andy Warhol. Nonetheless, Dali broke new ground in many artistic communities. His art, along with his strange and unique looks, made his popularity grow to what it is today. Perhaps he is best known for his mustache, but his works are what will be most remembered for centuries to come. Read some great Salvador Dali quotes below.
