The fantastic phenomenon that was Salvador Dalí Picasso called Dalí "an outboard motor that's always running." Dalíthought himself a genius with a right to indulge in whatever lunacy poppedinto his head. Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) wasone of the century's greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics — and wasrewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the firstto apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art ofpainting, approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity andimagination. This lively monograph presents the infamous Surrealist in full color andin his own words. His provocative imagery is all here, from the softwatches to the notorious burning giraffe.
