Salvador Dali

4to; laminated pictorial boards; laminated pictorial dustwrapper; pp. 127 + (i); lavish, full-colour reproductions of the artist's work, with some photographs from his lifetime. Dustwrapper sunned on spine panel, with slightly creased edges; gift inscription to front free endpaper; occasional fox spot. Very good condition. "SALVADOR DALÍ is a fascinating survey of the work of an artist whose reputation as a showman has tended to devalue his exceptional ability as a draftsman and his extraordinary imaginative fertility. This handsome volume, illustrated with over 80 glorious full color plates drawn from the full range of Dalí's work, and with a concise fully-illustrated introduction setting the paintings in the context of his life and times, represents a fitting memorial to a unique artistic phenomenon."
