Washington DC's National Gallery of Art holds 8 works by Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) — the city's entire known holding of this artist in a single institution.
Dalí became the most recognisable face of Surrealism, combining technically precise, almost photographic painting with hallucinatory imagery drawn from dreams and the unconscious.
