DALI (PRESTEL) (PB)

Although Salvador Dalí’s characteristically provocative behaviour and bizarre pictorial language made him an outlier in high society, his body of work reflects his century’s most important innovations and concerns. This introduction explores his early adoption of Surrealism, his fascination with the subconscious, and his antipathy toward war. It illustrates how Dalí's return to the Catholic church and his interest in nuclear and atomic physics was manifested in his paintings.
