Snappy, incisive introduction to life and later works of one of the
world's most popular artists.
Salvador Dalí was one of the most important artists of the twentieth
century, as well as a cultural figure who challenged convention. He
worked in an incredible array of different media, but is best-known for
his Surrealist paintings, which abound with Symbolism representing
eroticism, death and decay, and demonstrating his fascination with Freud
and later science and religion. This wonderfully enlightening little
book is a fascinating foray into the life and works of a man whose
ability to reveal the gap between reality and illusion proved to be a
huge influence on many artists, as well as popular culture in general.
