As a one of the foremost painters of the 20th century; Daliacute;; like Picasso and Warhol; can boast of having overturned the art of the previous century and directed contemporary art toward its present incarnation. As irrational as he was surrealist; this genius diverted objects from their original meanings; plunging them into the acid of his constantly churning imagination. A megalomaniac and an artist who above all understood the force of marketing and publicity; Daliacute; disorients the viewer in order to draw him into the artist s world. On his canvases; images and colours crash together to express and mock certain ideas; creating a subversive eroticism that taps into the subconscious of the avid voyeurs that we are. The author; Eric Shanes; explores the twists and turns of Daliacute; s mad genius; commenting on the masterpieces of the painter so as to show the diversity and scope of his talent; leaving the reader blown away and bewitched by this Prince of Metamorphosis. This work opens up the sweet; mad universe of this megalomaniac genius and invites us to let ourselves be overcome ... Daliacute; is; first and foremost; an absolute.
