the subject of the artwork seems more heavily Ni. also, verbally he seems less like an ISFP. not that we're completely incapable of articulating thoughts and ideas, but just that it's really difficult for us to and requires a lot of work in that area.
i know of one ENFP specifically that heavily focuses on colors in art. i don't think the color choice for the print job makes him necessarily an Se. also, my exboyfriend was an INFP and one of the most incredible artist i know of. keep in mind that type is our natural instinct of moving through the world, but that doesn't mean we're incapable of using our senses if we're intuitive, or being intuitive even if more often we really on our senses.
another note, i read an amazing article about people with high creativity. The Creative Personality | Psychology Today it says that creative types are often pretty balanced or go through phases of introvertedness and extrovertedness, which would make it harder to type someone like Dali who has shown he's gone through phases of both. however, i'm thinking that someone so drawn in to their own dream world might be more of an introvert. i have nothing really to base this on, as i'm a bit biased being more of an introvert myself that is very in tune with my own dreams.
Thanks for the link!
It is possible to be way off into your own head and still be E. I'm that way. I think Dali was E because he did not hesitate sharing his crazy inner world with the outside world.
I have a Dali story that supports some extroversion: back in the 20s and 30s the Marx Bros were all the rage with the surrealists. Especially Harpo; it's not hard to see why, Harpo was ethereal. I've read of artists developing man crushes on him. Dali was one of these artists.
He sent Harpo a Harp made of barbed wired and Harpo posed for him.
They even did a rough outline of a script together (the most bizarre thing you'll ever read but something I'd totally like to see). As suddenly as it started, their connection faded. [insert odd projection about the chinese zodiac and Dali's con man tendencies, here]
Sketch from the script:

According to Dali, when he arrived at Harpo's place Harpo presented himself. ...ummm. ..it's been awhile since I've read Harpo Speaks or the thing where I got this from but. ...you know how seraphs are nude and often in a bed of roses? Kinda like that.
I'd love to know Harpo's type.
