Inhaltsangabe

DIARY OF A GENIUS stands as one of the seminal texts of Surrealism, revealing the most astonishing and intimate workings of the mind of Salvador Dalí, the eccentric polymath genius who became the living embodiment of the 20th century's most intensely subversive, disturbing and influential art movement.

Dalí's second volume of autobiography, DIARY OF A GENIUS covers his life from 1952 to 1963, during which years we learn of his astonishing creative process, inspired by an amour fou for his wife Gala and their relationship both at home in Cadaqués and during bizarre world travels.

This new edition includes a brilliant and revelatory essay on Salvador Dalí, and the importance of his art to the 20th century, by the author J G Ballard.

With 20 illustrations.
