Salvador Dalí 1904-1989 by Gilles Néret

"Every morning when I awake", wrote the painter of the soft watches and burning giraffes, "the greatest of joys is mine: that of being Salvador Dalí..." Dalí a Catalan who was addicted to fame and gold, painted a lot and talked a lot. His favourite topic was how to become a genius. At the age of six he wanted to become a cook, at the age of seven: Napoleon. "Since then, my ambition has steadily grown, and my megalomania with it. Now I want only to be Salvador Dalí. I have no greater wish." Table of Contents reads: How to Become a Genius; The Trial of Love; The Triumph of Avida Dollars; Hallucinations or Scientific Visions; Salvador Dalí 1904-1989: Life and Work; and, of course, List of Illustrations.
