Abstract:

Salvador Dali's art and writing, 1927-1942 examines the evolution of Dali's art during the 1920s and 1930s, when he was associated, first with the Catalan avant-grade, and then with the Surrealist group in Paris. During this period, Dali's painting style changed radically, a phenomenon which has never been fully accounted for in the extensive literature on this subject. Haim Finkelstein demonstrates that Dali's writing, in which he explicated theoretical systems such as Paranoia-Criticism and other ideas adopted from Freud, were important for the active and critical role that they played in his development as an artist and often controversial figure. His study is the first to examine these writings in detail as the foundation for the evolution of Dali's unique artistic vision.
