INTRODUCTION TO BULLETISM

Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989)
is a Spanish writer, filmmaker and painter and a modern master of the Surreal Arts. Dali strived to bring the human's definition of "real" into doubt by creating art using techniques where the subconscious of a person is being used rather than them trying to achieve a certain image.
A technique first created by Dali is now known as bulletism, where an artist "shoots" paint or ink at a blank piece of paper and hence creating an image of what is visualized in the lines and shots of paint/ink.
A very well known example of this method is shown below:

Dali's breakthrough in Surrealism was with his painting The Lugubrious Game that contained a whole new form of Surrealistic techniques.
