"Maniac Eyeball is the third, final and most comprehensive volume
of autobiography written by the late Salvador Dali. "Maniac Eyeball
contains the frank and uncensored confessions of Salvador Dali,
from his childhood and first adolescent sexual experiences to his
emergence as a painter, surrealist and eventually the most
famous-and possibly richest-artist of modern times. These inspired
tracts, covering art, love, sex, money, death, fame, science, his
famous friends and enemies, and his extraordinary creative genius,
reveal the intricate workings of Dali's mind to create not only an
unparalleled autobiography, but also one of the key surrealist
texts yet published.
Salvador Dali (1904-"1989) entered the ranks of the Surrealists
in 1929 with a series of iconoclastic paintings which fused
technical virtuosity with Freudian infantilism, leading to his
invention of the "paranoiac-critical" method. Later expelled from
the surrealist group, he was christened "Avida Dollars" by Andre
Breton while acquiring the reputation of master showman and
scandalist. His art and writings remain among the most unique and
important bodies of work of the 20th century.
"Dali's paintings reveal in the most powerful form the basic
elements of the Surrealist imagination: a series of equations for
dealing with the extraordinary transformations of our age. Let us
salute this unique genius, who has counted for the first time the
multiplication tables of obsession, psychopathology and
possibility"-J.G. Ballard
