Salvador Dalí is one of the most popular artists in the world, known for
his lavish lifestyle, gravity-defying moustache, and bizarre art. This
book tells the story of Dalí's life and explores the meaning of his
Surrealist paintings. It goes beyond his fine art practice and discusses
his venture into the commercial world from his extravagant jewelry to
his cheeky design for the Chupa Chups lollipops. Surrealism is revealed
as a way of life; illustrations bring to life the extraordinary Dream
Ball at the Coq Rouge, his fabulous home at Port Lligat, and his
underwater fantasy at the World Fair's Surrealist pavilion. Fun,
provoking, and endlessly frustrating, Dalí is brought under the
spotlight.
Catherine Ingram brings her specialized knowledge to the book, while
Andrew Rae, an award-winning illustrator, vividly portrays the text.
