Ironically enough, a passage I found which described a specific period in his life made me giggle at how appropriate it was concerning the book as a whole: So might as well throw us a textual illusion, right?
#SALVADOR DALI ZIVOTOPIS FULL#
I jumped into this book knowing full well that Dali speaks in his own language - one that it is not very often the truth, not that that really matters because he also is fully aware that the truth is not even something the public can corroborate. I have enjoyed reading Dali's words on many other subjects, the deep and the shallow, but I believe when the spotlight is turned upon himself, Dali relishes far too much in the opportunity to take the audience on a wild goose chase. Am I even writing this review right now?. However, there is only so much I can personally take of the abstract, of the demented, of the intentionally complicated - the maze built with no exit the maze built with no exit when the maze in fact was really never built at all. So, I cannot begin to explain my respect for how intelligent Dali was in his written word - a talent he often was not properly recognized for. It is hard to mentally stomach this concept, though I was as good a sport as I could be. The first half of the book was toughest due mostly to the idea of having to sit through a telling of childhood memories that Dali in fact never had. )Ģ) The book is comprised of 30 page stories about the wonder and majesty that is Salvador Dali doing a seemingly boring everyday activity during one of his "false" memories. (Exquisiteness? Now that word is certainly not worthy of being called exquisite. He has a way with words that throws you off from your pure amazement of their exquisiteness, and hell, all that genius makes for a complicated read. For two reasons I almost did the unthinkable and gave up:ġ) It is written by a man with a tongue of genius. It took me almost a year to read this book off-and-on. Yet another Dali book I am unable to rate. The purposefully-sought notoriety led to broad public recognition and many purchases of his works by people from all walks of life. This sometimes irked those who loved his art as much as it annoyed his critics, since his eccentric manner sometimes drew more public attention than his artwork. Widely considered to be greatly imaginative, Dalí had an affinity for doing unusual things to draw attention to himself.
He also collaborated with Alfred Hitchcock on Hitchcock's film Spellbound.ĭalí insisted on his "Arab lineage", claiming that his ancestors were descended from the Moors who occupied Southern Spain for nearly 800 years (711-1492), and attributed to these origins, "my love of everything that is gilded and excessive, my passion for luxury and my love of oriental clothes." He collaborated with Walt Disney on the Academy Award-nominated short cartoon Destino, which was released posthumously in 2003. Salvador Dalí's artistic repertoire also included film, sculpture, and photography. His best known work, The Persistence of Memory, was completed in 1931. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters.
