Book excerpt: This original and utterly captivating celebration of Salvador Dali's life and career traces the countless, often outrageous, ways the artist employed his moustache to brilliant effect. Whether curled into a figure 8 or splayed like a cat's whiskers, Dali's moustache is arguably the world's most famous facial hair. But when asked to explain why he styled it in such bizarre and seemingly comic fashion, the artist remarked that his moustache was the most serious part of his personality. In this book, Boris Friedewald tells the life story of the renowned Spanish Surrealist through the various moustache styles he had throughout his life. Dali cultivated his moustaches--he staged them and had them photographed. But these were more than mere vanity projects. Dali's evolving facial hair signifies certain points in the artist's own metamorphosis and was a kind of antenna of his metaphysical inspiration. Illustrated with many intriguing photographs of the artist and his ever-changing moustache, this book describes how Dali cared for and styled his facial hair, and shows how it influenced many artists in his wake--from Ringo Starr to Lady Gaga. Filled with anecdotes and engaging commentary about Dali's work, this book offers readers a fascinating new way of looking at the artist, his life, and his legacy.

Download or read book Dali s Mustache written by Philippe Halsman and published by Rizzoli Publications. This book was released on 1996-01-15 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cult classic and collector’s item, Dali’s Mustache is the result of the astonishing artistic collaboration between surrealist Salvador Dalí and experimental photography pioneer Philippe Halsman. Dalí and Halsman were friends as well as professional collaborators for more than three decades. Subtitled A Photographic Interview, the concept of the book is one short question presented to Dalí, which Dalí answers, followed by a corresponding black-and-white photograph by Halsman. The photographs are intentionally absurd and hilarious. Early editions of this book came with a warning on the back that said “Warning! This book is preposterous.” Question: "I have the feeling, to have discovered your secret, Salvador. Could it be that you are crazy?" Answer: "I am certainly saner than the person who bought this book."

Download or read book Dal written by Eric Shanes and published by Parkstone International. This book was released on 2011-12-22 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Painter, designer, creator of bizarre objects, author and film maker, Dalí became the most famous of the Surrealists. Buñuel, Lorca, Picasso and Breton all had a great influence on his career. Dalí's film, An Andalusian Dog, produced with Buñuel, marked his official entry into the tightly-knit group of Parisian Surrealists, where he met Gala, the woman who became his lifelong companion and his source of inspiration. But his relationship soon deteriorated until his final rift with André Breton in 1939. Nevertheless Dalí's art remained surrealist in its philosophy and expression and a prime example of his freshness, humour and exploration of the subconscious mind. Throughout his life, Dalí was a genius at self-promotion, creating and maintaining his reputation as a mythical figure.
