Description
The third edition of this classic study provides a thorough introduction to one of the most popular and recognisable artists of the 20th century.
Salvador Dalí was, and remains, among the most universally recognisable artists of the twentieth century. What accounts for this popularity? His excellence as an artist? Or his genius as a self-publicist? In this searching text, partly based on interviews with the artist and fully revised, extended, and updated for this edition, Dawn Ades considers the Dalí phenomenon.
From his early years, his artistic friendships, and the development of his technique and style, to his relationship with the Surrealists and exploitation of Freudian ideas, and on to his post-war paintings, this essential study places Dalí in social, historical, and artistic context and casts new light on the full range of his creativity.
Dalí offers an insightful look at the complexities and intrigue surrounding one of art's most fascinating figures.
