Salvador Dalí

    May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989

    Salvador Dalí was a master of surrealist art, renowned for his vivid and unconventional visions. His artistic style, influenced by Renaissance masters, was characterized by exceptional draftsmanship and a remarkable ability to render dreams and the subconscious. Dalí was not merely a painter but also a filmmaker, sculptor, and photographer, unafraid to experiment and collaborate with other artists. His penchant for the grandiose and his eccentric behavior, which he linked to his Arab heritage, amplified his fame and ensured broad recognition for his work.

      THE SECRET LIFE, Salvador Dali's first volume of autobiography, was completed in 1941 and comprises one of modern art's most revelatory - and revolutionary - literary documents. From Dalí's birth, childhood and adolescence, during which we learn of the crucial events and influences which moulded his unique perspectives on life, art, sexuality and philosophy, THE SECRET LIFE goes on to record the artist's inexorable ascendency to global renown - starting with the Surrealist movement in 1920s Paris, and culminating in his conquest of America in the 1930s. THE SECRET LIFE Volume One documents the years 1904 to 1924, and presents an illuminating memoir of the artist's extraordinary childhood to his preliminary excursions as a young seditionary set to detonate the Parisan art scene. This new edition of THE SECRET LIFE is updated and corrected, and also contains a complementary chronology of Dali's life and works.

      "Дневник одного гения" (фр. Journal d'un genie") - своеобразные мемуары Сальвадора Дали, написанные художником в период с 1952 по 1963 год и изданные в Париже в 1964-м. В это время Дали уже всемирно знаменит, и его книга - одновременно и творческий манифест, и попытка объяснить или даже оправдать в глазах публики культивируемый им образ "подлинного гения современности" имевшего несчастье родиться в "эпоху почти что карликов". Полный текст дневника обогащают маргинальные приложения предусмотренные самим автором для первого издания: "Наука бздюма", "Похвала мухе", "Далианская мистика...", а также сравнительная таблица достоинств художников прошлого и будущего.

      Magician, death and the moon: Surrealism meets Symbolism in Salvador Dali's Tarot deck Legend has it that when preparing props for the James Bond film Live and Let Die, producer Albert Broccoli commissioned Surrealist maestro Salvador Dali to create a custom deck of Tarot cards. Likely inspired by his wife Gala, who nurtured his interest in mysticism, Dali eagerly got to work, and continued the project of his own accord when the contractual deal fell through. The work was published in a limited art edition in 1984, the first-known Tarot deck completed by a well-known painter. Dating back to the Renaissance era, Tarot thought by some to be an interpretation of dreams or a foretelling of the future had seen a new surge of popularity during the 1970s hippie movement. Here, TASCHEN resurrects Dali's fascinating deck of 78 cards, featuring compelling renditions of such characters and symbols as the Magician, the Lovers, the Moon, Death, the High Priest, and the Empress, in collage designs of drawings, icons, and color splashes. The deck is accompanied by a booklet by renowned German Tarot author Johannes Fiebig. Text in English, French, and German "

      Salvador Dali perfekcyjnie sprzągł własną sztukę z oryginalnymi poglądami i stylem życia. Fascynował onirycznymi obrazami, publicznymi happeningami, lansowaną metodą paranoiczno-krytyczną – był fenomenem w dziejach sztuki. Jego metoda paranoiczno-krytyczna polegała na świadomym naśladowaniu przez artystę — za pomocą odpowiednich praktyk i ćwiczeń umysłowych — wizji ludzi obłąkanych. Była czymś w rodzaju symulacji stanów halucynacyjnych, a następnie ich odzwierciedleniem. Metodę tę stosował w każdej dziedzinie sztuki, jaką uprawiał. Zapis eksperymentów twórczych, fantazji seksualnych, jego poglądy na sztukę, filozofię i swoisty manifest surrealizmu nie przestają intrygować i sprawiają, że zainteresowanie twórczością Dalego nie maleje, choć od jego śmierci minęło już 25 lat.

      Salvador Dalí besaß die Allüren eines Großmeisters und die Extravaganz eines Dandys, aber er verfügte auch über ein aussergewöhnliches zeichnerisches und malerisches Talent. Seine illusorischen Landschaften mit befremdlichen Perspektiven erzählen Geschichten aus einer anderen Welt: Verstörende Bilder, die aus einem tiefen Unterbewußsein hervorströmen; halluzinogene Vorstellungen von Menschen und Dingen, die ihre Materialität für einen liquiden, vergänglichen Zustand eingebüßt haben, oft nah am Pornografischen oder Morbiden. „. in diesem Jahrhundert keine heroischere, erstaunlichere Persönlichkeit gibt als mich, und abgesehen von Nietzsche (der allerdings im Wahnsinn endete), wird man in anderen Jahrhunderten nicht meinesgleichen finden. Meine Malerei bezeugt es.“ Salvador Dalí

      Over 100 illustrations. Salvador Dali, best known as the master of Surrealism, was one of the twentieth century's most famous artists, a painter whose remarkably potent work is recognized the world over. Both his extraordinary artworks and his brilliantly eccentric personality account for his universal popularity. As his reputation grew, so did his public displays, both artistic and otherwise: he clearly prefigured Warhol and the decade of the sixties. Nearly always controversial, Dali dealt openly and flamboyantly with sex and the subconscious. Here is the story of the man and the artist, presented along with his most vivid and sometimes disturbing works, represented by 100 full-color reproductions.

    • TASCHEN's 25th anniversary Special edition! Two large-format hardcover volumes in a slipcase. Picasso called Dali "an outboard motor that's always running." Dali thought himself a genius with a right to indulge in whatever lunacy popped into his head. Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dali (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. This lively monograph presents the infamous Surrealist in full color and in his own words. His provocative imagery is all here, from the soft watches to the notorious burning giraffe. A friend of the artist for over thirty years, privy to the reality behind Dali's public image, author Robert Descharnes is uniquely qualified to analyze Dali - both the man and the myth.

      Cult classic and collector's item, Dali's Mustache is the result of the astonishing artistic collaboration between surrealist Salvador Dali and experimental photography pioneer Philippe Halsman. Dali and Halsman were friends as well as professional collaborators for more than three decades.Subtitled A Photographic Interview, the concept of the book is one short question presented to Dali, which Dali answers, followed by a corresponding black-and-white photograph by Halsman. The photographs are intentionally absurd and hilarious. Early editions of this book came with a warning on the back that said "Warning! This book is preposterous."Question: "I have the feeling, to have discovered your secret, Salvador. Could it be that you are crazy?" Answer: "I am certainly saner than the person who bought this book."

      Willkommen am lunatic fringe der Önologie: TASCHEN präsentiert den surrealen Nachfolgeband von Salvador Dalí, der die Wonnen der Weintraube aus seiner typischen Perspektive schildert. Dieses Werk klassifiziert Weine nach den Empfindungen, die sie tief in uns auslösen, und lädt sowohl Hedonisten als auch Pataphysiker zur Verkostung ein. Kategorien wie „Weine der Wollust“, „Weine des Unmöglichen“ und „Weine des Lichts“ versprechen ein sinnliches Erlebnis. Visuell berauschend, enthält das Buch über 140 Illustrationen Dalís, darunter Adaptionen klassischer Kunstwerke und provokante Aktbilder. Besonders hervorzuheben ist Jean-François Millets „Das Angelusläuten“, das Dalí oft beschäftigte, sowie „Das Abendmahl“ von 1955, ein bedeutendes Werk seiner späten Phase der „nuklearen Mystik“. Legen Sie die gängigen Weinführer beiseite und vertrauen Sie auf Dalís flamboyantes, multisensorisches Manifest des guten Geschmacks. Mit etwas Glück werden Ihre Augen „leuchten wie die Fenster brennender Irrenhäuser“ (Arno Schmidt). Ein Dank an Gala und Dalí! Gewinner der Gourmand World Cookbook Awards 2018!

      • 12 hours of reading

      „Les dîners de Gala“ ist einzig den Freuden des Gaumens gewidmet. Essen und Surrealismus sind ideale Bettgesellen: Sex und Hummer, Collage und Kannibalismus, die Begegnung zwischen einem Schwan und einer Zahnbürste auf einem Tortenboden. Die legendären Dinnerpartys von Salvador Dalí und seiner Muse Gala waren unvergesslich. 1973 veröffentlichte Dalí das verrückteste Kochbuch aller Zeiten, eine Mischung aus surrealistischem Witz und extravaganten Gaumenfreuden. Der Nachdruck enthält alle 136 Rezepte in zwölf von Dalí illustrierten Kapiteln mit Titeln wie „Weiche Uhren im Halbschlaf“ und „Monarchenfleisch“. Saucen-Sottisen und Bouillon-Bonmots des Meisters wie „Der Kiefer ist unser bestes Werkzeug, um uns philosophisches Wissen anzueignen“ geben zusätzliche Würze. Diese köstlichen Rezepte lassen sich zu Hause nachkochen, erfordern jedoch etwas Übung, eine gut bestückte Vorratskammer und vielleicht auch eine spezielle neuronale Verschaltung. Die Kochkunst stammt aus Pariser Edelrestaurants wie Lasserre und Maxim’s. „Les dîners de Gala“ ist ein Kunstwerk, ein Kochbuch und ein multisensorisches Abenteuer.

    • The only novel by the twentieth century's most acclaimed surrealist painter, a richly visual depiction of a group of eccentric aristocrats in the years preceding World War II “The book is so full of visual invention, so witty, so charged with an almost Dickensian energy that it's difficult not to accept its author's own arrogant evaluation of himself as a genius.” — Observer In swirling, surreal prose, the iconic artist Salvador Dalí portrays the intrigues and love affairs of a group of eccentric aristocrats who, in their luxury and extravagance, symbolize decadent Europe in the 1930s. In the shadow of encroaching war, their tangled lives provide a thrilling vehicle for Dalí's uniquely spirited imagination and artistic vision. Hidden Faces beckons readers to enter the bizarre world already familiar to us from Dali's paintings. The story unfolds in vividly visual terms, beginning in the Paris riots of February 1934. The journey leading to the closing days of the Second World War constitutes a brilliant and dramatic vehicle for Dali's unique vision. “Start the first page and you are in the presence of an old-fashioned baroque novel, intelligent, extravagant, as photographically precise as his paintings but not so silly ... Dali notices everything ...” — Guardian

Dalí's second volume of autobiography, DIARY OF A GENIUS covers his life from 1952 to 1963, during which years we learn of his astonishing creative process, inspired by an amour fou for his wife Gala and their relationship both at home in Cadaqués and during bizarre world travels.
