I liked the book. The mix of explanations of the painting and his life was very descriptive. I learned a lot about his friends and famliy. The book just reminds me that in every genius there’s a lunatic.

Dali is a great beginner’s book to him. I love his art, but am not really a huge or knowledgeable art fan.
Chock full of pictures and a little history it was a great buy. No I know what the names of his art is and can start looking for his prints.

I used to have this book, and my ex-wife took it. I was delighted to find another copy.

in addition to providing many details about Dali’s life, his relationship with Breton and the surrealists, his friendship with Picasso and so on, the book provides the reader with an excellent discussion/analysis/explanation of Dali’s artistic/aesthetic choices and of his ‘paranoiac-critical method’.
This seems to be the definitive book on Dli’s paintings.
