I'm pretty sure if you look up a eccentric lunatic in the dictionary, you will find his picture. Dali was a nut. I would have been nervous to be in the same room with the guy, but I love many of his pieces. Much of his work has perverted Freudian overtones which I don't really care for, but his surrealist work, busy details, colors, and hidden images in his paintings seem to speak to me. Maybe twisted minds think alike.

I've always been intrigued by Dali.
Very cool artwork. I'm not terribly familiar with his works. I dig the crazy stash. :)
Dali is terrific. Such and original. SCTV did a great Dali sketch staring Joe Flaherty that has been oft repeated in my circle of friends.
We have similar art preferences. I like to see representation in art (no lazy paint splashes), but if you go the other way and the painting is photorealistic, then that's boring because maybe you might have just used a camera instead. But Dali, he finds the line between and jumps up and down on that line, amongst his melting clocks.
Have you seen Midnight in Paris yet? I laughed at the portrayal of Dali- so weird and so innovatively talented.
