A pioneer of Surrealism, he was both praised and reviled for the subconscious imagery he projected into his paintings, which he sometimes referred to as "hand-painted dream photographs."This early autobiography, which takes him through his late thirties, is as startling and unpredictable as his art. It is superbly illustrated with over 80 photographs of Dalí and his works, and scores of Dalí drawings and sketches. On its first publication, the reviewer of Books observed: "It is impossible not to admire this painter as writer. As a whole, he . . . communicates the snobbishness, self-adoration, comedy, seriousness, fanaticism, in short the concept of life and the total picture of himself he sets out to portray."Dalí's flamboyant self-portrait begins with his earliest recollections and ends at the pinnacle of his earliest successes. His tantalizing chapter titles and headnotes — among them "Intra-Uterine Memories," "Apprenticeship to Glory," "Permanent Expulsion from the School of Fine Arts," "Dandyism and Prison," "I am Disowned by my Family," "My Participation and my Position in the Surrealist Revolution," and "Discovery of the Apparatus for Photographing Thought" — only hint at the compelling revelations to come.Here are fascinating glimpses of the brilliant, ambitious, and relentlessly self-promoting artist who designed theater sets, shop interiors, and jewelry as readily as he made surrealistic paintings and films. Here is the mind that could envision and create with great technical virtuosity images of serene Raphaelesque beauty one moment and nightmarish landscapes of soft watches, burning giraffes, and fly-covered carcasses the next. For anyone interested in 20th-century art and one of its most gifted and charismatic figures, The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí is must reading."/><meta property="og:title" content="The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí"/><meta property="og:type" content="book"/><meta property="og:site_name" content="Google Books"/><meta property="og:image" content="https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=QLXDAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE73symOs54GN16Txt3U88Bfaz25Qn3Ymt0b7_iHqk9yNigmEnvBvKY1t0uLdrhvxfLdyfxNrS7bGe0yG4_TlgtouVaZ-G0P8N1c69SayGy2vz0LUpONKWsUlxxXq0wdutUyMMnXB"/><link rel="image_src" href="https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=QLXDAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&img=1&zoom=1&edge=curl&imgtk=AFLRE73symOs54GN16Txt3U88Bfaz25Qn3Ymt0b7_iHqk9yNigmEnvBvKY1t0uLdrhvxfLdyfxNrS7bGe0yG4_TlgtouVaZ-G0P8N1c69SayGy2vz0LUpONKWsUlxxXq0wdutUyMMnXB"/><script></script><style>#gbar,#guser{font-size:13px;padding-top:1px !important;}#gbar{height:22px}#guser{padding-bottom:7px !important;text-align:right}.gbh,.gbd{border-top:1px solid #c9d7f1;font-size:1px}.gbh{height:0;position:absolute;top:24px;width:100%}@media all{.gb1{height:22px;margin-right:.5em;vertical-align:top}#gbar{float:left}}a.gb1,a.gb4{text-decoration:underline !important}a.gb1,a.gb4{color:#00c !important}.gbi .gb4{color:#dd8e27 !important}.gbf .gb4{color:#900 !important} #gbar { padding:.3em .6em !important;}</style></head><body class=""><div id=gbar><nobr><a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/search?tab=pw">Search</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.google.com.sg/imghp?hl=en&tab=pi">Images</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://maps.google.com.sg/maps?hl=en&tab=pl">Maps</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://play.google.com/?hl=en&tab=p8">Play</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://www.youtube.com/?tab=p1">YouTube</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://news.google.com/?tab=pn">News</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://mail.google.com/mail/?tab=pm">Gmail</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 href="https://drive.google.com/?tab=po">Drive</a> <a target=_blank class=gb1 style="text-decoration:none" href="https://www.google.com.sg/intl/en/about/products?tab=ph"><u>More</u> »</a></nobr></div><div id=guser width=100%><nobr><span id=gbn class=gbi></span><span id=gbf class=gbf></span><span id=gbe></span><a target=_top id=gb_70 href="https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print&continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DQLXDAgAAQBAJ%26printsec%3Dfrontcover%26dq%3Dsubject:%2522Biography%2B%2526%2BAutobiography%2B/%2BArtists,%2BArchitects,%2BPhotographers%2522%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26redir_esc%3Dy&hl=en&ec=GAZACg" class=gb4>Sign in</a></nobr></div><div class=gbh style=left:0></div><div class=gbh style=right:0></div><div role="alert" style="position: absolute; left: 0; right: 0;"><a href="https://books.google.com.sg/books?id=QLXDAgAAQBAJ&printsec=frontcover&dq=subject:%22Biography+%26+Autobiography+/+Artists,+Architects,+Photographers%22&hl=en&sa=X&redir_esc=y&output=html_text" title="Screen reader users: click this link for accessible mode.

designer, and filmmaker Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was one of the most colorful and controversial figures in 20th-century art. A pioneer of Surrealism, he was both praised and reviled for the subconscious imagery he projected into his paintings, which he sometimes referred to as \"hand-painted dream photographs.\"This early autobiography, which takes him through his late thirties, is as startling and unpredictable as his art. It is superbly illustrated with over 80 photographs of Dalí and his works, and scores of Dalí drawings and sketches. On its first publication, the reviewer of Books observed: \"It is impossible not to admire this painter as writer. As a whole, he . . . communicates the snobbishness, self-adoration, comedy, seriousness, fanaticism, in short the concept of life and the total picture of himself he sets out to portray.\"Dalí's flamboyant self-portrait begins with his earliest recollections and ends at the pinnacle of his earliest successes. His tantalizing chapter titles and headnotes — among them \"Intra-Uterine Memories,\" \"Apprenticeship to Glory,\" \"Permanent Expulsion from the School of Fine Arts,\" \"Dandyism and Prison,\" \"I am Disowned by my Family,\" \"My Participation and my Position in the Surrealist Revolution,\" and \"Discovery of the Apparatus for Photographing Thought\" — only hint at the compelling revelations to come.Here are fascinating glimpses of the brilliant, ambitious, and relentlessly self-promoting artist who designed theater sets, shop interiors, and jewelry as readily as he made surrealistic paintings and films. Here is the mind that could envision and create with great technical virtuosity images of serene Raphaelesque beauty one moment and nightmarish landscapes of soft watches, burning giraffes, and fly-covered carcasses the next. For anyone interested in 20th-century art and one of its most gifted and charismatic figures, The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí is must reading.","my_library_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fop%3Dlibrary\u0026hl=en","is_magazine":false,"is_public_domain":false,"last_page":{"pid":"PA407","order":433,"title":"407"}},{"enableUserFeedbackUI":true,"pseudocontinuous":true,"is_cobrand":false,"sign_in_url":"https://www.google.com/accounts/Login?service=print\u0026continue=https://books.google.com.sg/books%3Fid%3DQLXDAgAAQBAJ%26printsec%3Dfrontcover%26dq%3Dsubject:%2522Biography%2B%2526%2BAutobiography%2B/%2BArtists,%2BArchitects,%2BPhotographers%2522%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DX%26redir_esc%3Dy\u0026hl=en","isEntityPageViewport":false,"showViewportOnboarding":false,"showViewportPlainTextOnboarding":false},{"page":[{"pid":"PP1","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=QLXDAgAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PP1\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U3upi_asq2XjBRhivJL_V4VuTv7gw","flags":32,"order":0,"uf":"https://books.google.com.sg/books_feedback?id=QLXDAgAAQBAJ\u0026spid=AFLRE73fbm9RHuraK_eWaYCkNW0wLLrdCTbFId-8yzin7005bbhbYM0\u0026ftype=0"},{"pid":"PR3","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=QLXDAgAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PR3\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U0MXjAk-v6F9RRti2oHamuGOnxFEw"},{"pid":"PR7","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=QLXDAgAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PR7\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U27vNouN2HfSAmPgIHQ2tD4m3cSPQ"},{"pid":"PR8","src":"https://books.google.com.sg/books/publisher/content?id=QLXDAgAAQBAJ\u0026pg=PR8\u0026img=1\u0026zoom=3\u0026hl=en\u0026sig=ACfU3U0vkUXwP0GuPgeWIXdlgqKKs5VLKA"}]},null,null,{});</script></div></div></div><script>(function() {var href = window.location.href;if (href.indexOf('?') !== -1) {var parameters = href.split('?')[1].split('&');for (var i = 0; i < parameters.length; i++) {var param = parameters[i].split('=');if (param[0] == 'focus') {var elem = document.getElementById(param[1]);if (elem) {elem.focus();}}}}})();</script>
