Secret Life Vol 2

THE SECRET LIFE, Salvador Dali''s first volume of autobiography, was completed in 1941 and comprises one of modern art''s most revelatory - and revolutionary - literary documents. From Dali''s birth, childhood and adolescence, during which we learn of the crucial events and influences which moulded his unique perspectives on life, art, sexuality and philosophy, THE SECRET LIFE goes on to record the artist''s inexorable ascendency to global renown starting with the Surrealist movement in 1920s Paris, and culminating in his conquest of America in the 1930s. THE SECRET LIFE Volume One documents the years 1925 to 1940, and presents an illuminating memoir of the artist''s extraordinary rise to global prominence as the living embodiment of Surrealism, a flamboyant polymath and most the famous painter in the world of modern art. This new edition of THE SECRET LIFE is updated and corrected, and also contains a complementary chronology of Dali''s life and works.
