Flamboyant Surrealist (4)
I believe the answer is:
'flamboyant surrealist' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for dali that I've seen before include "Tree" , "Controversial painter" , "Salvador among artists" , "Salvador . . . . was great Spanish surrealist painter" , "Surrealist Spanish painter, d. 1989" .)
