About this book

Shameful Life of Salvador Dali by Gibson, Ian. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780571167517.

This biography argues that Salvador Dali lived a "shameful" life in every way: that underlying his exhibitionism was an intense feeling of shame, the individual hanging his head being one of the recurrent themes of his painting. Based on extensive original research and recently discovered sources, as well as an interview with Dali himself, the book presents a portrait of a disjointed character. Ian Gibson emphasizes the literary side of Dalis career and re-examines the two principal relationships of his life - with Federico Garcia Lorca, and with the libidinous Gala.
