Salvador Dalí

Salvador Dalí was a surrealist human painter.

An android copy of him was in the Paloma Centre. The Eleventh Doctor used his sonic screwdriver to control it into attacking the invading Arucha, which it did by distracting them while René Magritte attacked them with a concrete pipe. (PROSE: The War of Art)

Dalí once painted a picture of elephants with long, thin legs. Polly Wright was reminded of this painting when she first saw the Vist. (AUDIO: The Forbidden Time)

Hex once saw Dalí chucking his paintings in the Seine after Panda criticised him. (AUDIO: Muse of Fire)

The Eighth Doctor, while struggling to recall his memories on Espero, found it impossible to remember what Salvador Dalí's Autumn Cannibalism looked like, although he couldn't work out why this was bothering him so much. (PROSE: Halflife)

Behind the scenes
A melting clock in COMIC: The Arts in Space is highly reminiscent of Dalí's The Persistence of Memory.
