Dali Salvador - Hidden Faces - Paperback

Binding: Paperback
Description: The only novel by the twentieth century's most acclaimed surrealist painter a richly visual depiction of a group of eccentric aristocrats in the years preceding World War II The book is so full of visual invention so witty so charged with an almost Dickensian energy that it's difficult not to accept its author's own arrogant evaluation of himself as a genius. Observer In swirling surreal prose the iconic artist Salvador Dal portrays the intrigues and love affairs of a group of eccentric aristocrats who in their luxury and extravagance symbolize decadent Europe in the 1930s. In the shadow of encroaching war their tangled lives provide a thrilling vehicle for Dal 's uniquely spirited imagination and artistic vision. Hidden Faces beckons readers to enter the bizarre world already familiar to us from Dali's paintings. The story unfolds in vividly visual terms beginning in the Paris riots of February 1934. The journey leading to the closing days of the Second World War constitutes a brilliant and dramatic vehicle for Dali's unique vision. Start the first page and you are in the presence of an old - fashioned baroque novel intelligent extravagant as photographically precise as his paintings but not so silly Dali notices everything .
