Opis

Salvador Dali's writings from the period in which he was most closely allied with the Surrealists have never before been translated into English. These short fictions, essays and poems contain all the egotistic brio one might expect from Dali, but they also reveal an earnest and even sentimental artist. They document Dali's friendships with fellow Spaniards Luis Bunuel and Federico Garcia Lorca, his entry into the world of the Parisian Surrealists, his passion for the emerging arts of photography and cinema, and the development of his -Paranoid-Critical Method, - the theoretical basis for Dali's work throughout his life. In 1934, Dali and Andre Breton would break forever---The only difference between me and a Surrealist is that I am a Surrealist, - he later said--but in the period 1927-1933, such distinctions were unnecessary.
