Accessible yet original, this comprehensive guide to Salvador Dalí contains over 400 colour reproductions and a unique selection of historical photographs.
Dalí in 400 images explores the full range of one of the most significant Surrealist painters of the twentieth-century. The exhaustive selection of works will reveal key masterpieces by perhaps the most famous of the Surrealists, as well as less familiar works including drawings and objects. Spanning the entire scope of the artist's career, this volume shows the complexity of the artist's vision from the early works inspired by Post-Impressionism and his engagement with Cubism in the mid-1920, his major Surrealist paintings of the 1930s, through the American years (1940s), the artist's embracing of Classicism in the 1950s, with his return to Spain, and finally his reengagement with avant-garde experimentation in the 1960s and beyond. The 400 reproductions of Dalí's work are complemented by a unique selection of historical photographs. Alive with images and information, this compact gem is a must-have for all art enthusiasts and connoisseurs.
