Painter, Designer, And Filmmaker Salvador Dal (19041989) Was One Of The Most Colorful And Controversial Figures In 20Thcentury Art. A Pioneer Of Surrealism, He Was Both Praised And Reviled For The Subconscious Imagery He Projected Into His Paintings, Which He Sometimes Referred To As Handpainted Dream Photographs.This Early Autobiography, Which Takes Him Through His Late Thirties, Is As Startling And Unpredictable As His Art. It Is Superbly Illustrated With Over 80 Photographs Of Dal And His Works, And Scores Of Dal Drawings And Sketches. On Its First Publication, The Reviewer Of Books Observed: It Is Impossible Not To Admire This Painter As Writer. As A Whole, He . . . Communicates The Snobbishness, Selfadoration, Comedy, Seriousness, Fanaticism, In Short The Concept Of Life And The Total Picture Of Himself He Sets Out To Portray.Dal'S Flamboyant Selfportrait Begins With His Earliest Recollections And Ends At The Pinnacle Of His Earliest Successes. His Tantalizing Chapter Titles And Headnotes Among Them Intrauterine Memories, Apprenticeship To Glory, Permanent Expulsion From The School Of Fine Arts, Dandyism And Prison, I Am Disowned By My Family, My Participation And My Position In The Surrealist Revolution, And Discovery Of The Apparatus For Photographing Thought Only Hint At The Compelling Revelations To Come.Here Are Fascinating Glimpses Of The Brilliant, Ambitious, And Relentlessly Selfpromoting Artist Who Designed Theater Sets, Shop Interiors, And Jewelry As Readily As He Made Surrealistic Paintings And Films. Here Is The Mind That Could Envision And Create With Great Technical Virtuosity Images Of Serene Raphaelesque Beauty One Moment And Nightmarish Landscapes Of Soft Watches, Burning Giraffes, And Flycovered Carcasses The Next. For Anyone Interested In 20Thcentury Art And One Of Its Most Gifted And Charismatic Figures, The Secret Life Of Salvador Dal Is Must Reading.
