More about the book

Dali: the name evokes images from melting clocks to surreal landscapes. Outrageous and enigmatic, Dali remains one of the twentieth century's most popular artists. This book presents the complete paintings of the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, which houses the most comprehensive collection of Dali's art in the world. It provides a unique overview of Dali's career from his student days to his interactions with Garcia Lorca, Bunuel, and the French Surrealist movement, his postwar fascination with history, science, and mysticism, and finally, his later, more cryptic works. Robert S. Lubar provides an introduction and enlightening commentary for each of the paintings, contributing valuable new scholarship. Also included are a chronology and bibliography, making Dali: The Salvador Dali Museum Collection both a sumptuous volume of fine color reproductions of the master's paintings and a significant addition to the study of Dali.
