520 _a Salvador Dali (1904 - 1989) was one of the most controversial and paradoxical artists of the twentieth century. A painter of considerable virtuosity, he used a traditional illusionistic style to create disturbing images filled with references to violence, death, cannibalism and bizarre sexual practices, from the extraordinary limp watches in 'The Persistence of Memory' to the gruesome monster in 'Soft Construction with Boiled Beans - Premonition of Civil War' and the fetishistic lobster in the famous 'Lobster Telephone'. The Surrealists regarded Dali's paintings as revealing the normally hidden world of the unconscious. Includes 86 illustrations, 48 in colour.
