Hardcover

An essential overview of Salvador Dal??s mind-melting ideas and seismic art historical impact, this compact publication reviews the master of Surrealism?s complete paintings, supplemented with sketches and ephemera. Presented by Robert Descharnes and Gilles N?ret, many of these works have rarely been seen before but epitomize Dal??s depictions of the subconscious mind?s strange workings. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <p>Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, <strong>Salvador Dal? </strong>(1904?1989) was one of the century?s greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics?and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of <strong>Sigmund Freud</strong> and psychoanalysis to the art of painting, approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity and imagination.<br /><br /> This publication presents the artist?s <strong>painted oeuvre</strong>. After many years of research, <strong>Robert Descharnes</strong> and <strong>Gilles N?ret</strong> finally located the paintings of this highly prolific artist. Many of the works had been inaccessible for years?in fact so many that <strong>almost half the illustrations in this book had rarely been seen in public</strong>.</p>
