In Salvador Dalí, art historian Rachel Barnes provides a lively and informative account of the great artist's life and inspirations alongside giant-sized reproductions of his work. His most famous paintings are displayed here - The Persistence of Memory, The Metamorphosis of Narcissus and Christ of St John of the Cross - as well as his lesser-known portraits and drawings, and evocative photographs of Dalí as a child, at work and with Gala. Together, these images chronicle a remarkable career, and paint a vivid portrait of this extraordinary and self-professed 'genius'.
