Description
Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was one of the century’s greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics—and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting, approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity and imagination.
An essential overview of Salvador Dalí’s mind-melting ideas and seismic art historical impact, this compact publication reviews the master of Surrealism’s complete paintings, supplemented with sketches and ephemera. It presents the artist’s painted oeuvre. Many of the works have been inaccessible for years—in fact so many that almost half the illustrations in this book have rarely been seen in public.
