Dalí: a Obra Pintada

Com seis anos, Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) queria ser cozinheiro. Com sete anos, eu queria ser Napoleão. "A partir desse momento", disse ele mais tarde, "minha ambição não parou de crescer e, com ela, minha megalomania. Agora eu só quero ser Salvador Dalí, não tenho maior desejo. ” No decorrer de sua vida, Dalí se tornou Dalí, ou seja, um dos artistas e excêntricos mais importantes do século XX.Este volume imponente é o estudo mais completo da obra pictórica de Dalí já publicada. Após anos de pesquisa, Robert Descharnes e Gilles Néret localizaram as pinturas do professor que permaneceram inacessíveis por um longo tempo; tantos, de fato, que quase metade dos que ilustram o livro são pouco conhecidos.

TASCHEN's 25th anniversary Special edition! Two large-format hardcover volumes in a slipcase at a special bestseller price. Picasso called Dalí "an outboard motor that's always running." Dalí thought himself a genius with a right to indulge in whatever lunacy popped into his head. Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dalí (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 Dalí's public image, author Robert Descharnes is uniquely qualified to analyze Dalí both the man and the myth.
