Overview

Salvador Dalí is one of the most popular artists in the world, known for his lavish lifestyle, gravity-defying moustache, and bizarre art. This book tells the story of his life and explores the meaning of his Surrealist paintings. It goes beyond his fine art practice and discusses his venture into the commercial world, from his extravagant jewelry to his cheeky design for the Chupa Chups lollipops. Surrealism is revealed as a way of life; illustrations bring to life the extraordinary Dream Ball at the Coq Rouge, his fabulous home at Port Lligat, and his underwater fantasy at the World Fair’s Surrealist pavilion. Fun, provoking, and endlessly frustrating, Dalí is brought under the spotlight.
