Aspects of Salvador Dali

ASPECTS OF SALVADOR DALI is a series of articles, essays and interviews on the phenomenon of this legendary Spanish artist and world icon. By separating the book into individual studies on various "aspects" of Dali's personality, life and work, Chris Wade hopes to grasp the complexities of this eccentric and contradictory man, and to unmask the elusive enigma. The book includes an interview with Dali's muse Amanda Lear, plus articles on his childhood, his relationship with his wife Gala, his scientific interests, his suspect political beliefs, his work on film, his sexual obsessions and quirks, his battle between fame and integrity, his damaged reputation as a serious artist, his sad decline, and a personal trip to Dali's museum and resting place, the Teatre-Museu in Figueres. Not a standard biography, but a personal trip into the world of Salvador Dali.
