Dali The Impresario of Surrealism

Throughout his life, Salvador Dalí produced a body of work both revolutionary and visionary. From the Purism of the twenties to the great mystical paintings of the fifties, Jean-Louis Gaillemin takes us on a complex journey through the life and career of an artist who turned paranoia into a way of painting and provocation into a way of life. Hundreds of colour illustrations and documentary pictures complemented by extracts from the writings of Dalí and his contemporaries makes this the perfect companion to his work.
