Salvador Dalà was one of the most popular painters of the twentieth century. Paintings such as The Persistance of Memory and Soft Construction with Boiled Beans - Premonition of Civil War have achieved the status of classic images, for in his best works Dalà touched upon universal and timeless human experiences.
In The Life and Masterworks of Salvador DalÃ, Eric Shanes explores the rise and fall of DalÃ, setting his art in the context of his life and paying special attention to DalÃ's most important years: the late 1920s and the 1930s. Then Eric Shanes perceptively analyses the 149 works reproduced in colour that, along the commentaries, fully reveal the range of DalÃ's invention and vision.
World's leading authorities on J.M.W. Turner, vice-president of the Turner Society and founding editor of Turner Studies, Eric Shanes has written books on several twentieth century artists such as Constantin Brancusi, Andy Warhol or David Hockney. He is also the author of a work on the history and the heritage of Pop Art, published by Parkstone International.
