At the age of six, Salvador Dal� (1904-1989) wanted to be a cook. At the age of seven, he wanted to be Napoleon. "Since then," he later said, "my ambition has steadily grown, and my megalomania with it. Now I want only to be Salvador Dal�, I have no greater wish." Throughout his life, Dal� was out to become Dal�: that is, one of the most significant artists and eccentrics of the 20th century. This weighty volume is the most complete study of Dal�'s painted works ever published. After years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles N�ret located painted works by the master that had been inaccessible for years-so many, in fact, that almost half the featured illustrations appear in public for the first time in this book. More than a catalogue raisonn�, this book contextualizes Dal�'s oeuvre and its meanings by examining contemporary documents, from writings and drawings to material from other facets of his work, including ballet, cinema, fashion, advertising, and objets d'art. The study is divided into two parts: the first examines Dal�'s beginnings as an unknown artist. We witness how the young Dal� deployed all the isms-Impressionism, Pointillism, Cubism, Fauvism, Purism and Futurism-with playful mastery, and how he would borrow from prevailing trends before ridiculing and abandoning them. The second part unveils the conclusions of Dal�'s lifelong inquiries, as well as the great legacy he left in works such as Tuna Fishing (1966/67) or Hallucinogenic Toreador (1970). It includes previously unpublished homages to Vel�zquez or Michelangelo, painted to the same end as the variations on past masters done by his contemporary, Picasso. We discover how, motivated by the desire to tease out the secrets of great works and become a Vel�zquez of the mid-20th century, Dal� became Dal�.

New. At the age of six, Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) wanted to be a cook. At the age of seven, he wanted to be Napoleon. 'Since then, ' he later said, 'my ambition has steadily grown, and my megalomania with it. Now I want only to be Salvador Dalí, I have no greater wish. ' Throughout his life, Dalí was out to become Dalí that is, one of the most significant artists and eccentrics of the 20th century. This weighty volume is the most complete study of Dalí's painted works ever published. After years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles Néret located painted works by the master that had been inaccessible for years--so many, in fact, that almost half the featured illustrations appear in public for the first time in this book. More than a catalogue raisonné, this book contextualizes Dalí's oeuvre and its meanings by examining contemporary documents, from writings and drawings to material from other facets of his work, including ballet, cinema, fashion, advertising, and objets d'art. Without these crutches to support analysis, the paintings would simply be a series of many images. The study is divided into two parts: the first examines Dalí's beginnings as an unknown artist. We witness how the young Dalí deployed all the isms--Impressionism, Pointillism, Cubism, Fauvism, Purism and Futurism--with playful mastery, and how he would borrow from prevailing trends before ridiculing and abandoning them.

We discover how, motivated by the desire to tease out the secrets of great works and become a Velázquez of the mid-20th century, Dalí became Dalí. The most complete study of Dalí's painted works yet. After years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles Néret located previously inaccessible works that epitomize Dalí's depictions of the subconscious and its strange workings. Complete with updated captions, this opulent edition contextualizes Dalí's paintings with his own writings, drawings, ...
