Description
Throughout his life Salvador Dali produced a body of work both revolutionary and visionary. From the Purism of the 1920s to the great mystical paintings of the 1950s this volume takes us on a journey through the life and career of an artist who turned paranoia into a way of life. His anarchic visions foreshadowed many preoccupations of art in the late twentieth century, not only in the realm of painting but also in the fields of cinema, architecture and installation art.
