Salvador Dali

“… This survey provides a key to the many worlds of Dali’s art. The text is by Robert Descharnes, an authority on contemporary art and a long-time member of Dali’s inner circle His text and choice of illustrations present a fresh appraisal of Dali’s oeuvre: the majority of the large, full-page colorplates have never before been reproduced in full color, and many of the black-and-white illustrations are of rarely seen paintings, including the pivotal early Surrealist canvas Blood Is Sweeter Than Honey. Especially revealing is the selection of previously unpublished pre-Surrealist works. Detailed commentaries on all the colorplates, an illustrated biographical outline, statements from Dali on all manner of subjects, a selected bibliography, and an index round out this volume. …”
