Description
Genius, eccentric, exhibitionist: There is no shortage of adjectives to describe the great surrealist painter Salvador Dalí (1904-1989). Yet this iconic artist and controversial thinker remains a figure shrouded in mystery.
Plunging into the Spanish painter's unbridled, fantastical universe, graphic novelist Edmond Baudoin takes us on the trail of a man known as much for his talent for self-promotion as for his bold and extraordinary work. He emerges with a convincing personal vision of the man behind the artist.
Commissioned by the Pompidou Centre, Paris, Dali is a graphic novel of rare brilliance, which captures in beautifully expressive detail the life of one of the world's most instantly recognisable painters.

Andy: The Life and Times of Andy Warhol
From the thirty-two canvas CAMPBELL'S SOUP CANS to the MARILYN DIPTYCH, Andy Warhol's silk-screen prints are the epitome of Pop Art: witty, gimmicky, and unafraid of repetition. Obsessed with consumerism and the cult of celebrity, Warhol exalted the "surface of things" - and yet, he was a man of deep complexity. In Andy, Typex captures the remarkable life of the...Paperback$5500Unit price /UnavailableAvailableShips in 4-6 weeks -
