This is a comprehensive biography of Salvador Dalí written by Ian Gibson. The book explores the artist's life, from his early years to his rise to international fame, analyzing his Catalan background, his friendships with Federico García Lorca and Luis Buñuel, his incorporation into the surrealist movement, and his subsequent decline. Gibson examines Dalí's exhibitionist personality and pathological shyness, as well as his literary and artistic work. The biography stands out for its equanimity, sense of humor, and rigor in verifying sources.
