  For hours they had been following wooded ridges, which here and there offered a view of the seemingly illimitable sweep of redwood forests below them. Spruce, fir, several varieties of oak, and madrones crowned these ridges—trees of a height and girth that they could understand. But down below them towered the monarchs of the vegetable kingdom, straight as the path of righteousness, solemn, aloof—impossible trees—whose height would bring their tops on a level with the clock of the Metropolitan Building, whose boles occupied a space greater than a good-sized living room...FROM THE BOOKS.

  Eccentric Painter and Artist...

  Why do melting clocks and burning giraffes still haunt us today, and why does Dalí's world feel like a mirror of our own dreams? This non-fiction book shows you how Salvador Dalí turned the unconscious into images you never forget - and how a young provocateur became the best-known Surrealist of the twentieth century. Anyone who knows Dalí only as an eccentric figure will discover here the precise thinker behind the pose: an artist who blended reality, delirium and advertising so deftly that an entirely new visual language emerged.
  
  Ants, crutches, soft forms and crystal-clear light: this is not mere effect, it is Dalí's language. Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) was born in Figueres and showed an exceptional talent for drawing early on. At the art academy in Madrid he met Federico García Lorca and Luis Buñuel, clashed with authority, and was expelled for insubordination. In Paris he connected with the Surrealists and developed his famous paranoiac-critical method - a technique of exact looking in which a single motif could transform into multiple meanings. With the small painting 'The Persistence of Memory' he created an icon that made time itself go soft.
  
  The book takes you into Dalí's work and his self-fashioning - from the twisted moustache to performances in which art and stage fused. It shows the role Gala played as muse, partner and manager, and how Dalí became an international star between Portlligat, Paris and New York. You explore his boundary-crossings into film: the collaboration with Buñuel on 'Un Chien Andalou', the dream sequence for Hitchcock's 'Spellbound', and the project 'Destino' with Walt Disney. You also encounter key images in which Dalí made desire, fear and memory into visible riddles - such as 'The Enigma of Desire' or 'The Temptation of Saint Anthony'. Along the way it becomes clear why his motifs are so powerful: they function like dream-sentences, logical yet uncanny, familiar yet slipping away.
  
  After returning to Spain, Dalí fused religion, mysticism and atomic physics into a new pictorial world. Works such as 'Leda Atomica' and 'Christ of Saint John of the Cross' stand for this phase, as do his experiments with photography, optical illusions and spatial staging. Anyone who wants to see how Dalí translated his art into architecture will also find the route here to the 'Teatro-Museo Dalí' in Figueres - a total work of art that feels like a brain you can walk through. The result is a complete portrait that neither romanticises Dalí nor reduces him to spectacle, but explains him: as painter, media professional and master of attention.
  
  Bert Alexander Petzold takes you on a richly factual cultural journey - clear, entertaining and well structured. You gain solid foundational knowledge that sticks, and connections that illuminate: ideal for British pupils preparing for GCSEs and A levels (especially in Art, Art History, or related humanities subjects), and equally valuable for sixth-form and university study as well as for anyone with a serious interest in art. Afterwards, anyone speaking about Surrealism will have images, concepts and context at their fingertips - and will recognise just how modern Dalí's ideas remain today. 
  
  Secure this book and step into Dalí's dream-world with a clear-eyed gaze. Understand the motifs, the method and the myth - and experience why Surrealism after Dalí was never the same again.
