Dream Caused by The Flight of a Bumble Bee Around a Pomegranate One Second Before Waking Up by Salvador Dalí

Often, Dalí's work seems to be influenced by a dream. Dalí (1904-1989) was a painter, writer, film maker, illustrator, jewellery de-signer, and performance artist amongst other things.

When he was born his parents had just lost their first born son. His parents named him after his dead brother and treated him as though he was his dead brother.

This piece is often called, "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee," but its true Dalí-given name is "Dream Caused by The Flight of a Bumble Bee Around a Pomegranate One Second Before."
