Painter and sculptor, Salvador Dalí was one of the leading exponents of the Surrealist movement. His work greatly influenced the direction of Surrealism during the 1920s and 1930s, and he is acclaimed as the creator of the paranoiac-critical method, the essential combination of the real and the imaginary. Most of his work is housed in the Dalí Theatre-Museum in Figueras, followed by the collection of the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg (Florida), the Reina Sofía in Madrid, the Salvador Dalí Gallery in Pacific Palisades (California), the Espace Dalí in Montmartre (Paris) and the Dalí Universe in London.
