Gilles Néret Libros

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989), conocido principalmente por su estilo único y grandilocuente, puede presumir de un repertorio extraordinario donde concurren cine, escultura, fotografía y, por supuesto, pintura. Mientras que su nombre es a menudo asociado, con razón, al surrealismo, Dalí demostró su maestría en géneros tan dispares como el clasicismo, el modernismo y el cubismo. No por menos, supone una figura crucial en la historia del arte que ha inspirado innumerables libros y estudios. En este volumen los lectores podrán encontrar una fascinante apreciación de la vida y obra de uno de los pioneros del arte que más controversia y excitación despiertan.

TASCHEN's 25th anniversary Special edition! Two large-format hardcover volumes in a slipcase. Picasso called Dali "an outboard motor that's always running." Dali thought himself a genius with a right to indulge in whatever lunacy popped into his head. Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the century's greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics - and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting, approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity and imagination. This lively monograph presents the infamous Surrealist in full color and in his own words. His provocative imagery is all here, from the soft watches to the notorious burning giraffe. A friend of the artist for over thirty years, privy to the reality behind Dali's public image, author Robert Descharnes is uniquely qualified to analyze Dali - both the man and the myth.

Almost half Dalí's illustrations in this book have rarely been seen This publication presents the entire painted oeuvre of Salvador Dalí (1904-1989). After many years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles Néret finally located all the paintings of this highly prolific artist. Many of the works had been inaccessible for years - in fact so many that almost half the illustrations in this book have rarely been seen.
