- & was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud & psychoanalysis to the art of painting approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity & imagination This publication presents the entire painted oeuvre of Salvador Dali After many years of research Robert Descharnes & Gilles Neret finally located all the paintings of this highly prolific artist Many of the works had been inaccessible for years
- in fact so many that almost half the illustrations in this book had rarely been seen
