Painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker, Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was one of the century's greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics―and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. This publication presents the artist's painted oeuvre. After many years of research, Robert Descharnes and Gilles Néret finally located the paintings of this highly prolific artist. Many of the works had been inaccessible for years―in fact so many that almost half the illustrations in this book had rarely been seen in public.
