Perfect Square: Dali
Salvador Dalí was one of the 20th century's true eccentrics and exhibitionists. One of the first to apply Freud's teachings to the art painting, Dalí approached the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity and imagination. Readers can see the fruits of this union for themselves with color reproductions. Insightful text presents the infamous surrealist as he truly was.

I enjoyed this book, it was a nice look into Dali's life, however the text in the book moved faster than the pictures. I kept having to go back and find the works of reference myself, rather than having the art displayed WITH the information.
More or less, this book was an essay on Dali, and then art work was sandwiched in between pages in the order they were created, but the art and the text of the book did not really coincide, which I thought kind of stunk.
