An Ode to Surrealism: The Ultimate Dalí Art Book 🎨

Dalí was not only a painter, sculptor, writer and filmmaker, but also one of the 20th century's most iconic figures. His eccentric persona and distinctive melting clocks became a cultural phenomenon. Did you know he was one of the first artists to apply the theories of Sigmund Freud to painting? His work delves deep into the subconscious, creating dreamlike landscapes and bizarre juxtapositions that challenge our perceptions of reality. Think of his famous "The Persistence of Memory" (1931), featuring those iconic drooping watches, or "Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee Around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening" (1944). These masterpieces are more than just paintings; they're psychological portraits. 🖼️

780 pages 📖

What makes this TASCHEN book an absolute must have? For many years, countless of Dalí's works were inaccessible to the public. Through extensive research, authors Robert Descharnes and Gilles Néret have finally located a staggering number of these paintings. The result is a publication where almost half the illustrations have rarely been seen before, offering a fresh perspective on the artist's painted oeuvre. This is an incredible opportunity to discover new facets of a well known surrealist artist.
