'Salvador Dalí: The Impossible Collection'

Widely recognisable and counting nightmarish visions, bizarre landscapes and surreal dream-like fantasies amongst its recurring themes, the work of Salvador Dalí leaves a lasting, palpable impression. With an oeuvre that included everything from painting and drawing to sculpture, film, furniture, books, stage design and jewellery, the surrealist artist created over eight decades' worth of work, memorably supplemented by the Spaniard's own highly eccentric public persona. It's all catalogued in Assouline's 'Salvador Dalí: The Impossible Collection', which spotlights 100 works by Dalí chosen by curator and art historian Paul Moorhouse. The 194-page book examines the artist's inspirations and influences, as well as his experimental approaches with themes such as religion, science and stereoscopy. Accompanied by 130 illustrations and presented in a luxury linen clamshell case, this handcrafted volume is a must have for anyone with a curiosity for 20th century art.
