› Find signed collectible books: 'The Collected Writings of Salvador Dali'Book summary:In both his art and his life, Salvador Dalí always courted controversy. Undoubtedly one of the most technically gifted of all the surrealist painters, Dalí was condemned for both his increasingly commercial output from the 1930s onward and his politically naive support for the Franco regime. More recently, Dalí's life and work have undergone something of a reassessment, nowhere more so than in Ian Gibson's magnificent biography The Shameful Life of Salvador Dalí. Coming hard on the heels of that work, this book, edited by Haim Finkelstein, adds yet another fascinating dimension to our understanding of this charismatic yet often repulsive enigma of Spanish painting.
Finkelstein's collection is the first comprehensive English translation of Dalí's writing from the late 1920s to the early 1970s. As he points out in his introduction, writing was in fact a vital dimension of Dalí's artistic identity, which is reflected in some truly weird, wonderful, and poetic essays from the 1920s on photography, jazz, and film, including the original shooting script of Un Chien Andalou. What comes across in these early writings is Dalí's enthusiasm for a popular culture that many presumed he regarded with contempt. However, Dalí's intellectual petulance and arrogance are never far away in this collection, and despite the interest of his flirtation with Freud in his "paranoiac-critical writings," the collection soon finds Dalí on all-too-familiar ground: posturing, conservative, and intellectually superficial. Although the writings shed little further light on why Dalí became such a cynical conservative in later life and art, it is interesting to watch how the loss of intellectual curiosity in his prose is reflected in the loss of artistic innovation in his paintings. The Collected Writings of Salvador Dalí is a fascinating book, a major event, and required reading for Dalí aficionados--and anyone intrigued by one of the flawed geniuses of 20th-century painting. --Jerry Brotton [via]

Dali's Optical Illusionsby Ramón Gómez de la Serna, Salvador DalíISBN 0300081774 (0-300-08177-4)
Hardcover, Yale University Press

› Find signed collectible books: 'Dali's Optical Illusions'Book summary:This visually gripping book focuses on a central but relatively unexamined aspect of the work of Salvador Dali: his fascination with optical effects and visual perception. The book examines Dali's use of various pictorial techniques, photography, and holograms to further his exploration of visual perception and the ways that optical illusion affects our sense of reality. Dawn Ades and other authorities in the field discuss such paintings as The Enigma of William Tell, in which Dali experimented with anamorphosis, the perspectival distortion that produces on the canvas elongated forms demanding an oblique viewpoint. They also note his interest in other more conventional forms of perspective and their sources in both Dutch and Italian art. They study his development of the famous double image, the "paranoiac-critical method" that produced images that could be "read" in multiple ways, as seen in his Apparition of a Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach or Impressions of Africa. And they reveal his fascination with optical effects and three-dimensional illusions that is apparent in his post-war work: the "screen-dot" paintings like Sistine Madonna or Portrait of my Dead Brother, in which an image emerges from a "pointillist" surface; the striking stereometric paintings he began in the early 1970s - twin panels that have to be viewed through special lenses and his holograms. The authors explore these works and many others, pointing to their sources in scientific theories of perception and perspective and comparing them with the work of such twentieth-century artists as Marcel Duchamp, who was similarly concerned with optics. The book is the catalogue for an exhibition at the Wadsworth Athenaeum, Hartford, Connecticut, from 21 January to 26 March 2000; at the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C., from 19 April to 18 June; and at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art, Edinburgh from 23 July to 1 October.
