Ian Gibson has written the definitive biography of the surrealist painter who caught the imagination of the twentieth century. Dali produces a mixture of feelings in us: intense admiration for his paintings and writings; respect for his rebelliousness; delight at his Wildean wit; boredom with his brash, extravagantly moustached public persona; revulsion at many of the things he did (not least supporting the Franco regime). As Ian Gibson shows in his revelatory biography, Dali lived a 'shameful life' in every way: underlying his exhibitionism was an intense feeling of shame - the individual hanging his head is one of the recurrent themes of his painting. By way of compensation, he did some outrageous things. Relying on extensive original research and recently discovered sources, Ian Gibson presents a convincing portrait of this disjoined character. He emphasises the literary side to Dali's career - his voluminous correspondence, his novel, poems and essays; and re-examines the two principal relationships of his life - with Federico Garciacute;a Lorca, and with the enigmatic, libidinous Gala.

Although recognized primarily as a painter, Dali experimented with a wide range of media. This comprehensive review includes the literature, photography, film, and sculpture that influenced and was created by Dali throughout his career, from paintings such as The Persistence of Memory, to the icons of the surrealist movement such as the Mae West Lips Sofa and the Lobster Telephone, to short film collaborations with Luis Buñuel. The author offers insight into this undisputed genius, charting Dali’s progression as an artist and controversial public figure, and demonstrating his influence on contemporary artists such as Warhol, Koons, and Murakami.
