Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was one of the century’s greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics―and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting, approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity and imagination. This publication presents the artist’s painted oeuvre. After many years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles Néret finally located the paintings of this highly prolific artist. Many of the works had been inaccessible for years―in fact so many that almost half the illustrations in this book had rarely been seen in public. About the series Bibliotheca Universalis ― Compact cultural companions celebrating the eclectic TASCHEN universe! Review: Excellent book on Dali. - Excellent quality, informative and contains descriptions per painting. It was bought as a gift and it was much appreciated. Review: Wonderful book... - A very complete reference to Dalis work. A good read and well presented. The colour pictures are very well represented, for a smallish book its very good. I got it for a bargain price.

It's an amazing book.
Salvador Dalí was no doubt a genius, very likely one of the most important artists ever lived. No book is big enough ,or fat enough to have all of his paintings, his ideas, his art and mainly, his unique and very difficult personality. But for the money, and considering the measurements of the book, it's more than enough to get the essentials of this extraordinaire and multi talented person.

Good but small
Like many other reviews state, some of the pictures are a little small. The book itself isn't huge (although it is very thick), which really limits it. However, with the inclusion of all of the studies (prototype pieces for grander artworks, if you will), it's an excellent book with a great narrative all the way through about Dali, his life, and his art. It's very fairly priced. If you just want a little something to have a peak at his art works now and again (or maybe you're studying him for an A level or GCSE), you won't be disappointed, but if you truly want to study his art (maybe as part of a university degree), this might not necessarily be for you.

Superb
Superb. The images are fairly small and it, of course, would be great to have a book ten times the size to really examine the works (at the same price, of course!) but this is a really top quality book with lots of good quality color images as well as black and white sketches etc and perfect to peruse before a good night's sleep and dream

画集なのだ、それもあのダリの・・・
英語の原本ですが、元々欲しかったダリの仕事のすべてを網羅している画集。 英国から直送、簡易な包装でしたが、中身は完璧な新品本でした。 リーズナブルな価格、申し分なしです。 じっくりダリを堪能します。
