Discovering the Magical World of Dalí
Hello! I am Salvador Dalí, the Surrealist artist who painted his dreams. Did you know that I wanted so badly to attract people’s attention that I used to go out in the streets painted in blue and wearing flowers behind my ear? And that one day I went into a restaurant riding an elephant? Did you know that I loved flies and that I used to spread honey in my mustache to attract them? There are lots of amusing anecdotes waiting for you in this book. Open it and pay close attention: I am going to tell you how I became a genius.
Salvador Dalí was a man of many parts: sculptor, writer, designer, poet and also an inventor! In his work, he tells the story of his life. Using his own universe of symbols, he shows us his passions, his fears and his way of looking at the world. Extravagant, obsessive, eccentric and always willing to raise controversy, he was, without a doubt, the greatest exponent of Surrealism. He even said once: “The Surrealism is me.”
