At the age of six, Salvador Dali wanted to be a cook, and at seven Napoleon "Since then," he later said, "my ambitions has steadily grown, and my megalomania with it Now I want only to be Salvador Dali, I have no greater wish," His whole life long, Dali was out to become Dali: that is, to be a genius, one of the most significant artists озжва of the 20th century, beside Picasso and Matisse In his own words: "Oh, Salvador, now you know the truth: that if you act the genius, you will be one!" This study of Salvador Dali's art is the most complete edition of his known paintings ever published It is not, however, a catalogue raisonne in the classic sense Rather, it contextualizes Dali's work, teasing out its meanings by examining numerous contemporary documents of very different kinds: writings and drawings supplementary to the main Dali oeuvre, as well as material relating to his versatile work in other areas of art, from ballet and cinema to fashion, advertising, and objets d'art Without these crutches to support analysis (to borrow a favourite Dali motif), the paintings would be simply so many images The first part examines the early Dali, an unknown artist whose skill and command were astounding The young Dali deployed all the isms - Impressionism, Pointillism, Cubism, Fauvism, Purism and Futurism - with breathtaking ludic mastery He would borrow from the prevailing trends, ridicule them, and drop them The second part of 'Salvador Dali: The Paintings' conveys the sum conclusions of Dali's lifelong enquiries, the great legacy he left in works such as Tuna Fishing or Hallucinogenic Toreador It includes works previously unpublished, homages to Velazquez or Michelangelo, painted to the same end as the variations on past masters done by that other great Spanish genius of the age, Picasso Both were motivated by the desire to tease out the secrets of great works Dali wanted the same immortality that had been granted his illustrious predecessors And, by aiming to be a Velazquez of the mid-20th century, he became Dali Издание на английском языке Формат: 24,5 см х 32,5 см Иллюстрации Авторы Жиль Нере Gilles Neret Робер Дешарн Robert Descharnes.  2007 г Суперобложка, футляр, 780 стр ISBN 978-3-8228-3822-8 Мелованная бумага, Цветные иллюстрации.
