This essay explores the development of Salvador Dali, from the
early phases of childhood, the bizarre and complex aims of his
first experiments, to his absorption into high society of Paris in
the 1930s, and his inclusion in the Surrealist movement from 1928
to 1939. The essay focuses on the makeup of a provocative and
original personality acutely reflexive, intelligent and
pathologically driven. As a creative signifier of considerable and
generative impact, Dali can be identified as a unique sounding
board for his own and succeeding times.

Part of a series of exciting and luxurious Flame Tree Notebooks.
Combining high-quality production with magnificent fine art, the
covers are printed on foil in five colours, embossed then foil
stamped. And they're powerfully practical: a pocket at the back for
receipts and scraps and two bookmarks. These are perfect for
personal use and make a dazzling gift. This example is based on
Gustav Klimt's The Kiss. The Kiss is a prime example of Klimt's
'Golden Phase', in which he began to feature especially sumptuous
ornamentation on a regular basis in his paintings. The couple in
this artwork represent the mystical union of spiritual and erotic
love, and the connection of life and the universe.
The perfect Lent book for art lovers of all ages
Readers discover new insights into the methods of top contemporary
watercolor artists with each edition of Splash, now an annual
competition with an accompanying book after more than 20 years as a
series. Splash 17 will be loaded with more than 125 paintings by
more than 100 artists selected from thousands of watercolor and
water-media painters across the world invited to submit work for
consideration. Each painting will be accompanied by a caption that
will show readers something about each artist's processes
pertaining to the theme of texture. Entry fee of $30 for the first
image and $25 per subsequent image helps defer cost of production;
we expect to collect about $40,000 in fees. Call for entries will
be promoted in The Artist's Magazine, Watercolor Artist,
www.artistsnetwork.com, http://wetcanvas.com and eblasts. Deadline
will be December 1, 2014 (earlybird deadline) and December 31, 2014
