Hmm.. I seem to be on the schedule of a book a month, I need to pick that up some! This book was a biography of Dali, and it was neither good nor bad. It was not a lot about Dali.. but a look at his work in the context of what was going on around Dali at each time. It covers his entire life from birth to death but does not go into a lot of detail on any part.. save the Surealist movement which it gives a lot of detail on.. more about the movement itself then Dalis part of it. The book is filled with wonderful images and it speaks about the times in his life that he created them. The book is good for that and includes some works I was not familiar with, and many personal photographs. I did not learn much more about Dali that I did not already know, but it was worthwhile, none the less.
Book is more for the person familiar with Dali who want to see a perspective of his work.. not so much for the casual fan.
