Synopsis

Perhaps the best-known artist of the international Surrealist movement, Salvador Dalí (19041989) transformed his dreams and personal obsessions into some of the most original and arresting images of the twentieth century. While the Surrealist works from his early years are widely known and admired, Dalís controversial late works - often inspired by science and religion - have received a different reception. In this important book, experts provide a revisionist account of the last five decades of the artists career. The Dalí Renaissance explores a wide range of topics from this period, including the artists fascination with religion and popular culture, his 'Nuclear Mysticism' lecture tour of the midwestern United States, and his influence on film, photography, design, and fashion. Based on an international symposium held at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the volume also features a fascinating discussion between two of Dalís former companions, Ultra Violet and Amanda Lear, which provides a glimpse into his personal life and working methods.
