Salvador Dalí - by Captivating History (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

If you want to discover the captivating life of Salvador Dalí, then keep reading...

Salvador Dalí was a master of the surreal. His paintings are known as "dream-photographs" snapshots of nightmarish scenes brought to life in stunning detail. Dalí was a technical virtuoso, but unlike the grand masters he admired--like Johannes Vermeer and Diego Velázquez--he chose to use his skill to depict the unreal and the absurd. Anyone who has seen his famous painting of the melting watches, The Persistence of Memory, knows that his paintings are as confusing as they are striking.

Yet like Dalí himself, there are more to those paintings than just what's on the surface. Unlike many artists of his age, Dalí was a glamorous celebrity, and his pointy mustache has remained a symbol of art and quirkiness to this day. He was as ridiculous as his paintings, but he was also a human being.
