Peintre, sculpteur, crivain, r alisateur et homme de spectacle, Salvador Dal (1904-1989) fut un des plus grands exhibitionnistes et excentriques du vingti me si cle. Il fut aussi un des premiers artistes appliquer les th ories de la psychanalyse freudienne l'art, et devint c l bre avec ses oeuvres surr alistes, comme les montres molles ou le t l phone homard, qui sont aujourd'hui des jalons de l'entreprise surr aliste et du modernisme en g n ral. Dal d crivait fr quemment ses peintures comme des photographies de r ves peints la main . La tension captivante qui en mane r side dans la repr sentation pr cise d' l ments bizarres et dans ses compositions incongrues. Comme l'expliquait lui-m me Dal , il peignait avec la plus imp rialiste rage de pr cision , mais seulement pour syst matiser la confusion et ainsi participer discr diter totalement le monde de la r alit . R volutionnant le r le de l'artiste, le moustachu Dal eut aussi l'intuition d'exhiber un personnage controvers dans l'ar ne publique et de cr er travers la gravure, la mode, la publicit , l' criture et le cin ma une oeuvre qui pouvait tre consomm e et pas seulement contempl e au mur d'un mus e. Ce livre explore la fois la peinture et la personnalit de Dal , en pr sentant ses aptitudes techniques, ses compositions provocatrices et ses th mes f tiches, souvent ardus - la mort, le pourrissement et l' rotisme.

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