Salvador Dalí’s art and public image

Dawn Ades’s revised study brings Salvador Dalí’s work into conversation with the questions surrounding his public appeal. It covers his early years and the development of his technique and style, while tracing his relationship with the Surrealists and his use of Freudian ideas. The book also examines the persona Dalí fashioned as a “mad genius” artist, linking that self-presentation to broader questions about the Dalí phenomenon. Its single-volume scope gives the reader an account that considers both the art and the identity Dalí cultivated around it.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers seeking a single-volume study of Salvador Dalí’s work and career.
  • Readers interested in Surrealism, artistic self-presentation, and the use of Freudian ideas in art.

Book overview

This is a revised and updated edition of Dawn Ade's single-volume study of Salvador Dali's work. What accounts for his popularity as an artist? Is it the accessibility of his imagery or his talent as a self-publicist? This book considers questions raised by the Dali phenomenon. His early years, the development of his technique and style, his relationship with the Surrealists, his exploitation of Freudian ideas, and the image which Dali created of himself as the mad genius artist are all explored in this text.
