Summary

If you want to discover the captivating life of Salvador Dalí, then pay attention...

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

In Salvador Dalí: A Captivating Guide to the Life of a Famous Spanish Painter Who Is Known for His Surrealist Paintings and Flamboyant Personality, you will discover chapters, such as:

  • Prehistory to Picasso
  • Growing Wings
  • Rebellion
  • Risen Star
  • Fame and Eccentricity
  • The Bathtub and the Window
  • Flight
  • Going Home
  • Farewell to the Muse
  • The Marquis’ Last Drawing
  • The Immortal Mustache
  • And much, much more!

Dali and the Marx Brothers brought back to life

I love this doubtful mash-up beginning together with the great artist Salvador Dali and the entertaining Marx Brothers. It's zany, fantastical and fun!

Took Effort To listening

Not a thrilling audible to lead listening Dali rants and raves which oftentimes makes you not like his narcissistic tone. However, I listen about Dali and what makes him tick.
