Our take on the Dalí

A book about Salvador Dalí, the most famous of the Surrealists, covering his career from the Paris group through his break with André Breton in 1939. It traces the influences of Buñuel, Lorca, Picasso and Breton, his film Un Chien Andalou, and his lifelong partnership with Gala. It reads as a compact portrait of an artist who treated self-promotion as part of the work. Suits readers who want Dalí's life and ideas in one short volume rather than a heavy scholarly biography.

About the Dalí

Dalí was a painter, designer, maker of strange objects, author and filmmaker. He became the most famous of the Surrealists. Buñuel, Lorca, Picasso and Breton had a major influence on his career.

His film "An Andalusian Dog," made with Buñuel, marked his official entry into the Paris Surrealist group. There he met Gala, his lifelong companion and source of inspiration. His relationship with the group ended with a final break with André Breton in 1939.

Dalí's art stayed Surrealist in its philosophy and expression. It is a textbook example of humor, purity and exploration of the unconscious. Throughout his life he was a genius at self-promotion and kept a mystical air about his reputation.

Questions and answers

Is this a picture book or a text biography?
It is a text-led account of Dalí's life and career, not an image-heavy coffee-table book. Expect discussion of his works and circle rather than large reproductions.
Does it cover his films and objects?
Yes. Un Chien Andalou and his work as a designer and maker of strange objects are part of the story, alongside his painting.
How does it compare with longer Dalí biographies?
It is shorter and more introductory. Longer biographies go deeper into his later years and the business of his fame; this one gives the arc in brief.
Is it suitable for a student writing a paper?
It works as a starting overview of his career and the Surrealist group. For citations and close analysis of specific works, pair it with a scholarly monograph.
Does it explain his break with the Surrealists?
Yes. The falling-out with André Breton and the end of his formal place in the group in 1939 are covered.
Where is the Dalí cheapest?
At Barnes & Noble, for $15.99, as of our latest check.
