Salvador Dalí: A Captivating Guide to the Life of a Famous Spanish Painter Who Is Known for His Surrealist Paintings and Flamboyant P (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781647486716)

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

Salvador Dal was a master of the surreal. His paintings are known as "dream-photographs" snapshots of nightmarish scenes brought to life in stunning detail. Dal was a technical virtuoso, but unlike the grand masters he admired--like Johannes Vermeer and Diego Vel zquez--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 Dal himself, there are more to those paintings than just what's on the surface. Unlike many artists of his age, Dal 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.
