The Secret Life: VOLUME ONE 1904 - 1924 — Salvador Dali

THE SECRET LIFE, Salvador Dali's first volume of autobiography, was completed in 1941 and comprises one of modern art's most revelatory - and revolutionary - literary documents.

From Dalí's birth, childhood and adolescence, during which we learn of the crucial events and influences which molded his unique perspectives on life, art, sexuality and philosophy, THE SECRET LIFE goes on to record the artist's inexorable ascendancy to global renown - starting with the Surrealist movement in 1920s Paris, and culminating in his conquest of America in the 1930s.

THE SECRET LIFE Volume One documents the years 1904 to 1924, and presents an illuminating memoir of the artist's extraordinary childhood to his preliminary excursions as a young seditionary set to detonate the Parisan art scene.

This new edition of THE SECRET LIFE is updated and corrected, and also contains a complementary chronology of Dali's life and works.
