Book excerpt: Published in collaboration with the Gala-Salvador Dali Foundation, The Treasures of Salvador Dali offers one of the most up-to-date and intriguing views of the life and works of one of the world?s most famous artists of the 20th century. Augmented by the inclusion of facsimiles of over 30 documents from the archives of the Foundation, this beautiful book takes the reader through the life of one of the leading lights of the Surrealist movement. From his first forays into the world of art to his visits to Paris and meetings with Picasso and the Surrealists, Dali broke boundaries like few others, and themed chapters look at his fascination with other artists and writers, his collaborations with such giants as thefilm-makers Luis Bu?uel, Alfred Hitchcock and Walt Disney as well as his adherence to and then expulsion from the Surrealist movement. Containing some rarely and previously unpublished works, The Treasures of Dali culminates in an examination of the legacy that Dali has left behind and how successive artists have been influenced by him.
