The seminal surrealist: Exploring Dalí's grandiose and grotesque oeuvre. This publication presents the entire painted oeuvre of Salvador Dalí. After many years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles Néret finally located all the paintings of this highly prolific artist. Many of the works had been inaccessible for years - in fact so many that almost half the illustrations in this book had rarely been seen.
The ultimate in thought and surrealism. Salvador Dalí covers everything from polymorphism to why he doesn't eat spinach, and he does it with a bang! 400 pages of commentary describing and explaining the symbols of his artwork. Mostly psychoanalytic approaches. There are a number of descriptions of events that shaped his thoughts from childhood. A great read for anyone seeking companionship in a world that resists weirdness.

A crucial figure in art history, Dalí has inspired countless literary works and this edifying Best Of volume gives readers a fascinating insight into the life and career highlights of one of art's most controversial and exciting pioneers.
"Warning! This book is preposterous," says the back cover. This collaboration between the flamboyant Spanish painter and the Latvian-born portraitist is also a surrealistic work of art. In the course of this witty and inventive homage, the artist's celebrated whiskers tie themselves in a knot, are pressed into service as a paintbrush, become the hands of a clock and blemish the face of the Mona Lisa.
In a blend of outrageous egotism and unconventional humor, Dalí presents 50 "secrets" for mastering the art of painting. Illustrated with his own drawings, this volume is a fascinating mixture of serious artistic advice, lively personal anecdotes, and academic craftsmanship. Especially esteemed for its insights into modern art, it is indispensable reading for any student of Surrealism or 20th century.
This book stands as one of the seminal texts of Surrealism, revealing the most astonishing and intimate workings of the mind of Salvador Dalí, the eccentric polymath genius who became the living embodiment of Surrealism. Dalí's second volume of autobiography, Diary of a Genius covers his life from 1952 to 1963. This new expanded edition includes a brilliant and revelatory essay on Dalí by the author J. G. Ballard.
This handsomely illustrated volume focuses on Dalí's work after 1940, presenting it as a multifaceted oeuvre that simultaneously drew inspiration from the Old Masters and the contemporary world. Beginning in the late 1930s with the transition from Dalí's well-known Surrealist canvases to the classicism he announced in 1941, the volume traces the artist's work in illustration, fashion, and theatre.
What accounts for his popularity as an artist? Is it the accessibility of his imagery or his talent as a self-publicist? This book considers questions raised by the Dalí phenomenon. His early years, the development of his technique and style, his relationship with the Surrealists, his exploitation of Freudian ideas, and the image which Dalí created of himself as the mad genius artist are all explored in this text.
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. This lively monograph presents Dalí in full color and in his own words. A friend of the artist for over thirty years, author Robert Descharnes is uniquely qualified to analyze Dalí - both the man and the myth.
Magician, death and the moon: Surrealism meets Symbolism in Salvador Dalí's Tarot deck. The work was published in a limited art edition in 1984, the first-known Tarot deck completed by a well-known painter.
Dalí's only novel. This exploration of a doomed and destructive relationship owes much to both the Marquise de Sade and Baron von Masoch as Dalí narrates the tale of his two main characters' descent into the darkest recesses of emotional dependency and desire. Many of the elements that inspired Dalí's art are here and so this book is a must for any fans of surrealism in general and Dalí in particular.
