Must have for Dali fansBy Martin PSo much more than a purveyor of dreamscapes; Salvadore Dali was both a visionary and an incredible artist and this book reveals the man and the works upon which his genius was unleashed. Featuring biographical information and a run down of the works featured in the book; Eric Shanes book delivers for anyone wanting to know a little more about the man with the curly mustache. But its in the full page prints that the book truly delivers.Featuring 150 reproductions of Dails work the book is both diverse and expansive; featuring many of Dalis different styles; from his famous surrealist paintings to revealing self portraits and plainer landscapes. The images are beautiful and feature many large and full page reproductions of some of Dalis most important works.Given the level of detail in Dalis paintings it pays to spend a little more on high quality print and a decent size; and this book delivers on both counts.
