As a one of the foremost painters of the 20th century, Dali,
like Picasso and Warhol, can boast of having overturned the art of
the previous century and directed contemporary art toward its
present incarnation. As irrational as he was surrealist, this
genius diverted objects from their original meanings, plunging them
into the acid of his constantly churning imagination. A
megalomaniac and an artist who above all understood the force of
marketing and publicity, Dali disorients the viewer in order to
draw him into the artist's world. On his canvases, images and
colours crash together to express and mock certain ideas, creating
a subversive eroticism that taps into the subconscious of the avid
voyeurs that we are. The author, Eric Shanes, explores the twists
and turns of Dali's mad genius, commenting on the masterpieces of
the painter so as to show the diversity and scope of his talent,
leaving the reader blown away and bewitched by this Prince of
Metamorphosis. This work opens up the sweet, mad universe of this
megalomaniac genius and invites us to let ourselves be overcome ...
Dali is, first and foremost, an absolute.
