The Secret Life Volume Two: Salvador Dali' S Autobiography: 1925-1940

By Salvador Dalí

THE SECRET LIFE, Salvador Dali's first volume of autobiography, was completed in 1941 and comprises one of modern art's most revelatory - and revolutionary - literary documents. From Dal 's birth, childhood and adolescence, during which we learn of the crucial events and influences which moulded his unique perspectives on life, art, sexuality and philosophy, THE SECRET LIFE goes on to record the artist's inexorable ascendency to global renown - starting with the Surrealist movement in 1920s Paris, and culminating in his conquest of America in the 1930s. It was during this period that Dali perfected his revolutionary method of using photographic realism derived from the Dutch masters to present startling Freudian visions torn from the subconscious.
THE SECRET LIFE Volume Two documents the years 1925 to 1940, and presents an illuminating memoir of the artist's extraordinary rise to global prominence as not only the living embodiment of Surrealism, but as the most famous painter in modern art.
This new edition of THE SECRET LIFE is updated and corrected, and also contains a complementary chronology of Dali's life and works.
