Synopsis

Salvador Dali's first autobiographical volume, completed in 1941, comprises one of modern art's most revelatory - and revolutionary - literary documents. Encompassing Dali's birth, childhood and adolescence, during which we learn of the crucial events and influences which molded his unique perspectives on life, art, sexuality and philosophy, The Secret Life goes on the record the artist's meteoric ascendency to global renown - starting with the Surrealist movement in 1920s Paris, and culminating in his conquest of America in the 1930s. This new edition of The Secret Life is updated, corrected and fully illustrated, with over 30 images in full colour and another 80 in black and white, including Dali's original line drawings. For all those interested in 20th century art, the Surrealist movement, and one of it's most gifted and charismatic figures, The Secret Life is essential reading.
