Salvador Dali was, and remains, among the most universally recognizable artists of the twentieth century. What accounts for this popularity? His excellence as an artist? Or his genius as a self-publicist? In this searching text, partly based on interviews with the artist and fully revised, extended and updated for this edition, Dawn Ades considers the Dali phenomenon. From his early years, his artistic friendships and the development of his technique and style, to his relationship with the Surrealists and exploitation of Freudian ideas, and on to his post-war paintings, this essential study places Dali in social, historical and artistic context, and casts new light on the full range of his creativity.
' One of our foremost historians of Surrealism. . . has had access to her subject - a privilege available to few - and her book is particularly revealing' - Spectator ' A sensitive art-historical study' - Times Literary Supplement ' Richly documented and illustrated' - Arts Review
