Product Description
Product Description
Salvador Dalí was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century - and also one of its greatest eccentrics. Renowned for his striking and provocative work, as well as his unconventional behaviour, he attracted admiration and controversy in equal measure. This stunning volume showcases more than 90 of Dalí's most famous works in magnificent giant size. Arranged chronologically to reflect Dalí's artistic development from ambitious young painter to reclusive artist, the images include the sensational Persistence of Memory; the finely detailed Metamorphosis of Narcissus; and his later works, such as the arresting image of Christ of St John of the Cross and The Hallucinogenic Toreador. Here too are numerous depictions of his muse and wife, Gala; and his most well-known sculptures, including Lobster Telephone and Retrospective Bust of a Woman; as well as evocative black-and-white photographs of the artist throughout his life. Accompanying the images is art historian Rachel Barnes's lively and entertaining account of Dalí's life and artistic style and techniques, shedding light on the artist's influences and inspirations. Ideal for Dalí enthusiasts and art lovers, these spectacular giant-size reproductions and insightful commentary reveal the extraordinary life and works of this gifted, controversial and inimitable artist.
From the Inside Flap
Salvador Dalí was one of the most famous artists of the 20th century - and also one of its greatest eccentrics. Renowned for his striking and provocative work, as well as his unconventional behaviour, he attracted admiration and controversy in equal measure. From his Surrealist objets d'art to his fervently Catholic depictions, and from the early paintings of his family and Spanish landscapes to the nightmarish images that both shocked the world and brought him fame, the self-professed 'genius' produced highly imaginative and intricate works of art. This stunning volume showcases Dalí's most famous works in magnificent giant size. Arranged chronologically to reflect Dalí's artistic development from ambitious young painter to reclusive artist, the images include the sensational The Persistence of Memory; the finely detailed Metamorphosis of Narcissus; and his later works, such as the arresting image of Christ of St John of the Cross and The Hallucinogenic Toreador, Here too are numerous depictions of his muse and wife, Gala, and his most well-known sculptures, including Lobster Telephone and Retrospective Bust of a Woman, as well as evocative black-and-white photographs of the artist throughout his life. Accompanying the images is art historian Rachel Barnes's lively and entertaining account of Dalí's life and artistic style and techniques. She sheds fascinating light on the artist's influences and inspirations, from the Surrealist movement to the ideas of Sigmund Freud, and the huge impact that political events, such as the Spanish Civil War and the rise of Hitler, had on his work. Ideal for Dalí enthusiasts and art lovers, the spectacular giant-size reproductions and insightful commentary reveal the extraordinary life and works of this gifted, controversial and inimitable artist.

Format:Hardcover
An absolutely fantastically scaled book which shows off the Dali works to great effect. Good background to his life, works and influences. At a bargain price of £18.00 the volume was a bargain for it's content and scope and would highly recommend it for anyone interested in Dali and his works.
