Salvador Dali. The Paintings

Picasso famously described Salvador Dalí as "an outboard motor that’s always running," while Dalí himself believed he was a genius entitled to explore any whim that captured his imagination. As a multifaceted artist—painter, sculptor, writer, and filmmaker—Dalí (1904-1989) stood out in the 20th century for his theatrical flair and eccentricity, often sparking intense debate. He was a pioneer in integrating the principles of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis into painting, delving into the subconscious with remarkable creativity and insight.

This publication compiles the complete paintings of Salvador Dalí, the result of extensive research conducted by Robert Descharnes and Gilles Néret. They succeeded in uncovering the full range of works from this extraordinarily prolific artist, many of which had remained out of reach for years. In fact, nearly half of the images in this collection were rarely exposed to public view before now.
