Dali

Description:

"This book presents the complete paintings of the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida. The 94 full-color reproductions in Dali: The Salvador Dali Museum Collection include the museum's most recent painting acquisitions and provide a review of Dali's career. The book also includes his later, more cryptic works that arose from his postwar fascination with the interaction between history, science, and mysticism.". "Leading Dali scholar Robert S. Lubar provides an introduction, "The Martyrdom of Avida Dollars," that investigates the Dali phenomenon and the artist's importance as a cultural "distorting mirror." Lubar also gives commentary on each of the museum's paintings, creating in effect a catalogue raisonne for this popular collection and contributing valuable new scholarship on Dali."--BOOK JACKET.
