Salvador Dali»rank: 138875by: Luis Romero, Salvador Dali
: :Man of many moustaches, of critical paranoia, of flies and ants, body parts held up by crutches, desert scapes windswept by perverse oases, melting clocks and faces, floating pomegranates, ever evolving metamorphoses. How ever to explain it all? How ever to explain Salvador Dal'? This monograph on Dal', originally published in 1975, was without doubt a landmark in the extensive bibliography on the artist. Two factors aided author Luis Romero in his endeavor: Firstly, the active support of Dal' himself, who helped in selecting the materials and who produced the series of original calligraphic texts that precede each of the sections in the book. And secondly, Romero's decades of long talks and ... |

Dali: The Reality Of Dreams (Pegasus)»rank: 1710979by: Ralf Schlieber, Ralf Schiebler, Salvador Dali
: :This fascinating look at Dalí explores the forces that shaped the life and works of one of the modern art world’s most inscrutable and misunderstood figures. Concise yet comprehensive, this elegant volume follows Dalí’s artistic development from the 1920s to his death in 1989. Accompanied by brilliant reproductions and the artist’s own words, it offers detailed analyses of his most important paintings based on the theories of two men who deeply influenced his thinking: Sigmund Freud and his protégé, Otto Rank. What emerges is a picture of an artist whose pursuit of self-knowledge provides fascinating and important insights into the inner workings of the creative imagination. |

: :Named for the ancient sewer in Rome, Belgian conceptualist Wim Delvoye's new and improved 'Cloaca' is a room-sized shit-making machine whose bowels process two meals a day as well as a mouthful of complex themes: scatalogy, hi-lo culture, the aesthetics of the ugly and disgusting, man as machine and vice-versa. Many of these same concerns are processed in Delvoye's other work, including a life-sized carved walnut replica of a cement truck, a wood cabinet stocked with 32 circular saw blades painted with scenes in Delft China blue, and a herd of pigs tatooed by Antwerp's finest needle-men. Feces and other anal subjects are parsed in accompanying essays by such luminaries as Milan ... |
