Very good article on one of the most misunderstood artists of our time, which was his very intention. One of my favorite stories is when Dali was cast out from his family for the remarks about his mother's portrait. Supposedly Dali filled a prophalactic with semen, and upon seeing his father he threw it in his face and said (i paraphrase) "now i owe you nothing!"
A genius in very sense of the word.
