Artists and Art Movements: Salvador Dalí

More about the book

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.
