Robert Descharnes Bücher

Picasso nannte Dalí „einen Außenbordmotor, der ständig läuft“. Dalí selbst hielt sich für ein Genie, das sich jedem Wahnsinn hingeben durfte, der ihm in den Sinn kam. Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) war Maler, Bildhauer, Schriftsteller und Filmemacher; er war einer der größten Exhibitionisten und Exzentriker des 20. Jahrhunderts – und wo immer er auftauchte, sorgte er für heftige Kontroversen. Er war einer der Ersten, der die Psychoanalyse Sigmund Freuds auf die Malerei übertrug und näherte sich dem Unterbewusstsein mit äußerster Sensibilität und Vorstellungskraft. Diese Monographie stellt den Surrealisten in all seinen Farben, mit seinen eigenen Worten und seinen berühmten Gemälden wie den zerrinnenden Uhren vor. Autor Robert Descharnes war mehr als dreißig Jahre lang mit Dalí befreundet und genoss das Privileg, hinter dessen öffentliche Fassade blicken zu dürfen. Er war wie kein anderer für dieses Buch prädestiniert – und analysiert gleichermaßen den Menschen wie den Mythos.

TASCHEN's 25th anniversary Special edition! Two large-format hardcover volumes in a slipcase. Picasso called Dali "an outboard motor that's always running." Dali thought himself a genius with a right to indulge in whatever lunacy popped into his head. Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was one of the century's greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics - and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting, approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity and imagination. This lively monograph presents the infamous Surrealist in full color and in his own words. His provocative imagery is all here, from the soft watches to the notorious burning giraffe. A friend of the artist for over thirty years, privy to the reality behind Dali's public image, author Robert Descharnes is uniquely qualified to analyze Dali - both the man and the myth.

Almost half Dalí's illustrations in this book have rarely been seen This publication presents the entire painted oeuvre of Salvador Dalí (1904-1989). After many years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles Néret finally located all the paintings of this highly prolific artist. Many of the works had been inaccessible for years - in fact so many that almost half the illustrations in this book have rarely been seen.

An essential overview of Salvador Dalí's mind-melting ideas and seismic art historical impact, this compact publication reviews the master of Surrealism's complete paintings, supplemented with sketches and ephemera. Presented by Robert Descharnes and Gilles Néret, many of these works have rarely been seen before but epitomize Dalí's depictions...
