Painter, sculptor, writer and film maker, Salvador Dal穩 (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. Dal穩 brought extraordinary sensitivity, imagination and
concern for precision to bear upon submerged levels of consciousness.
This lively biography presents the infamous Surrealist Dal穩 in full colour and in his own words. His provocative ideas are all here, from the soft watches to the notorious burning giraffe.
And the fantastic phenomenon that was Salvador Dal穩 is grasped entire and placed in his various contexts.
