3.0 out of 5 stars Grandiloquence and ludicrous advice, 16 Dec 1998

By A Customer

I read this book obsessively as a teenager, and marvelled at its grand style. Reviewing it now, it seems to owe much of its appeal to Dali's pretentious prose and characteristic love of absurdity. The author gives critiques of his contemporaries, and even provides a numerical chart measuring the "genius" and "inspiration" of painters such as Vermeer and Velasquez. But the book has too little practical advice on matters of technique, paints, etc. He spends far more time describing the mystical qualities of sea-perch eyes, and "the secret of the painter's marriage."

4.0 out of 5 stars Bizzaro entertaining beautifully illustrated some technique, 16 Dec 1998

By A Customer

Not a practical guide (despite the title). Learn! How to sleep without sleeping, the correct way to point your mustache, how often to have sex with your wife and when, and a little note here and there on which colors to use and how to draw.

The best thing about this book are the illustrations (mostly pen and ink) which are amazing and reveal the true mastery of technique Dali had. He idolized Valasquez and thought his fellow modern artists were hacks. Picasso (fellow Spaniard) -- talented but misguided. Realism is the goal. That and flat paintings (look at the canvas at an angle to make sure your brush strokes aren't building up any ridges of paint).

Worth $10 fursure.
