Book Reviews of Salvador Dali 2v
Book Review: Absolutely Spellbinding !!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an incredible 2 volume "masterwork" of Dali. It is huge and heavy and totally comprehensive. The print quality (Taschen quality)is superb and there appears to be everything included that Dali has ever created - all in chronological order. His output is staggering and encompasses a massive period of time. The first paintings include elements of French Impressionism with pictures similar to Cezanne and Monet etc etc. Gradually the style changes until it becomes the weird and wonderful, the brilliant and bizarre, the product of a mind half crazy and half supremely talented. The man is amazing - his style utterly mind bending. He has so much more artistic skill than those persons who currently peddle "modern art" consisting of a few lines and a few shapes and a splat of paint here and there. I would describe Dali as a Picasso who has had an artistic licence "bomb" exploded in him. Talent surges out in all directions - blindly and madly but oh so beautifully and perfectly executed. Everything that makes great Art is here. If you never ever buy any other book on art then buy this one. Enter the world that I've just stepped into - and you will never want to leave again !! Just Brilliant !
