Book Description
The name Dali evokes a thousand images, from melting clocks and fragmented nudes to lurid skulls and enigmatic landscapes. Dali was a controversial figure in the art world for most of the twentieth century, one whose work unsettled and always challenged Modernism, Surrealism and the institution of art as a whole. This book presents the Morse Collection of the Salvador Dali Museum in Florida - a collection of more than 150 oil paintings, drawings and watercolours that provides a comprehensive review of Dali's career from his student work in Madrid to his later, more cryptic works. This new edition includes an expanded introduction by Robert S. Lubar and descriptions accompanying all the paintings as well as a chronology, bibliography and full catalogue.
This is a sumptuous volume of fine colour reproductions and a significant addition to the study of this truly great artist.
