A big, beautiful Taschen art book filled with copious and useful information about Salvador Dalí's life and work. A great introductory primer to the artist. The numerous large, color plates showing examples of Dalí's paintings are gorgeous and enchance the book immeasurably, making the tome an artwork in and of itself. A beautiful book about a curious man. Fascinating and fantastic.
Being a choice of the work of the Spanish surrealist, together with an extensive running biography. It serves as a fine summary of Dali's life and work.

- First words
- "A dandy," wrote Charles Baudelaire, "must be looking in his mirror at all times, waking and sleeping."
- Last words
- (Click to show. Warning: May contain spoilers.)His moustache waved and his body embalmed to last at least three hundred years, clad in a tunic adorned with the crown of a marquès and an embroidered border representing the double helix of DNA, the Marquès de Dalí de Pubol (the title conferred on him by King Juan Carlos I on 26 July 1982) lies at rest in a crypt beneath the glass dome of his museum at Figueras, amidst his pictures and objects—among them a Cadillac.
