Salvador Dalí­ was one of the most famous—and most notorious—artists of the twentieth century, recognized as much in the popular imagination for his flamboyant personal style as for his groundbreaking artworks. The first in-depth investigation of the crucial role film played in Dalí­'s art and his extensive involvement in film-based projects, this volume presents both the major paintings that reflect his preoccupation with film and materials related to the key film projects on which he worked. 238 pp.; 175 illus.
