SALVADOR DALI: THE IMPOSSIBLE COLLECTION

PAUL MOORHOUSE FOR ASSOULINE In the popular imagination, possibly no other artist’s work is more recognizable than that of Salvador Dalí. Indeed, for many he is the ultimate mad artist, whose singular vision remorselessly probed his own psychological depths. His nightmarish visions and bizarre landscapes express the angst and turbulence of the twentieth century. Dalí’s creativity embraced many different modes of expression and was never constrained by any one style. Over eight decades, the prodigious range of Dalí’s activity spanned every conceivable medium, from painting and drawing to sculpture, film, furniture, books, stage design and jewelry, not to mention his highly eccentric public persona, which could be considered an art form in itself. 194 pages 3 gatefolds, 130 illustrations W15.75" x H18.75" x D3.25" Handcrafted volume in a luxury linen clamshell case 20.3 lbs
