Product Details
Overview
This immersive, lavishly illustrated portrait of Salvador Dalí reveals how the Surrealist master transformed himself into one of the most recognizable artists in history—and created the blueprint for the modern celebrity artist.
Salvador Dalí understood something long before almost anyone else: art alone wasn’t enough. You also had to create the myth.
Beloved and reviled in equal measure, Dalí set Europe and the United States ablaze with his uncompromising genius, sexual provocations, outrageous behavior, and relentless self-invention. His fellow Surrealists tried to ostracize him. Critics attacked him. Yet Dalí turned controversy into celebrity and personal branding into an art form, cultivating a public persona nearly as unforgettable as his paintings. More than thirty years after his death, his melting clocks remain instantly recognizable, his mustache is an icon unto itself, and his influence can still be seen across art, fashion, music, and popular culture.
Rich with more than 150 full-color images, The Dalí Legacy traces Dalí’s life alongside the artistic, political, and social movements that shaped him, revealing the influences behind his paintings, his provocative personal relationships and motivations, and the creation of his larger-than-life persona. Noted art historians Jean-Pierre Isbouts and Christopher Heath Brown show how generations from Andy Warhol to Lady Gaga have followed the path Dalí pioneered, blurring the boundaries between art, fame, spectacle, and self-invention.
The Dalí Legacy explains not only what made Salvador Dalí a genius, but how he made himself an icon—and why, decades after his death, he is still everywhere.
