A must for all Dali enthusiasts. Encyclopaedic!, 16 Jul 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Dali: The Paintings (Paperback)

This book is nothing short of excellent. It is by far the best reference work I have ever seen. It shows his paintings from 1914 onwards through his transitional dalliances into Impressionism, Cubism, Pointilism, Futurism and Purism and beyond until it reaches his last painting in 1983. Alongside the paintings are superbly well written descriptions of that particular period in time. The book also includes many photographs of Dali, his family and the artist at work.

It is more than an omnium gatherum as you might expect from a large reference book. It is extremely well thought out and put together in a pleasing and easy to follow manner. Second to none.

Excellent value for money, 27 Nov 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Dali (Art in Hand) (Paperback)

This book is excellent value for money. It was one of the first books I bought on Dali and it is a great introduction and overview of his life and his paintings. The book does not go into great depth or give great insights into the artists mind but it briefly highlights the main events in his life, also describing the different phases he went through and how these affected his painting. I found it very useful as an introductory text and as a reference guide. I reccomend it to the dali novice as it provides you with a framework and background that you can build on through reading the artists own writings.

This review is from: Dali: The Paintings (Paperback)

An excellent overview of a wonderful artist. It certainly helps you look behind the well known pieces and see a tremendous amount of art work spanning many years.
