The aim of this paper is to prove that Salvador Dali is genuinely the greatest surrealist during his life and work. If we compare other Surrealists and Salvador Dali, we can see a lot of differences, what in thoughts, what in work of arts. Dali has led an interesting life. He entered into conflicts with his colleagues and family, ran the subject taboo in his works, fell in love and dedicated his life to art. In Surrealism he has introduced many new motives and ways of creation. His paranoid-critical method and photo-realism enabled him to incorporate irrational realities and put us in a dream as it simultaneously opened our eyes. In his works he often portrayed the Catalan coast, enjoying food or his obsession with feminine hips. His dali motifs, such as grasshoppers, ants, faeces, or lion's head repeat from work to work and become a way of recognizing his works. The main person in his life was his wife Gala, his muse. Gala has become the center of his life and a source of motivation for many famous works. She supported her husband in every step he decided to make. But the specialty of Dali's works is not the work itself or the ultimate outcome on the paper, but the specialty of his works is in the story behind them. Dali has carefully planned his works what conflicted with the main feature of surrealism . However, in conclusion for this very reason we can say that Dali was indeed surrealism, and because of the way he came to it he did not lie when he called himself a genius.
