Rating:  Summary: dali in text and graphic Review: a beautifully sized book that contained excellent text about the painter's life and superb reproductions of his work in the book
Rating:  Summary: Dali 1 Vol (2 volumes into one hardcover edition) Review: Being the owner of many books based on the works of Salvador Dali, which includes "Dali The Work, The Man", I admit to being somewhat skeptical about yet another "complete" edition; that it would probably have pretty much the same information and reproductions of his art as my other books. I now admit to being incorrect, because this is a well made edition with a truly fantastic bargain price. I have paid well over a hundred dollars for what I'd hoped was a book containing all of Dali's paintings with detailed biographical information, when I found that this is the book with all of that for around ($). You will not be disappointed with this book and I think you'll agree that the quality is excellent, with a solid binding and beautiful reproductions of all of his paintings in chronological order. There are also a great deal of photographs (and paintings) that I've never seen before, and I thought I was a huge fan of Salvador Dali. "Dali, The Work The Man" is also a very well-made book, which may be printed on a slightly heavier grade paper, at the most. However, the Taschen book is far more detailed and also excellent quality. "Dali, The Work The Man" costs ten times as much and only has half the content. I truly thought there must have been some mistake when I ordered it.I still question the price as being far too low, so I advise you to hurry up and get this before the publisher realizes their huge mistake. Perhaps we are dealing with a publisher who really isn't greedy at all--that's my impression here. I couldn't be happier with my purchase of this book and highly recommend it.
Rating:  Summary: My Dali Introduction Review: Dali is a great beginner's book to him. I love his art, but am not really a huge or knowledgeable art fan. Chock full of pictures and a little history it was a great buy. No I know what the names of his art is and can start looking for his prints.

Rating:  Summary: NO COMMENT Review: I have never seen a book with so many of an artist's work. "Dali: The Paintings" gives a complete view of Dali's work in each different time period of his life. This book allows the reader to really see his work without going to a museum.

Rating:  Summary: Comprehensive, insightful analysis by formost Dali scholar. Review: This book is a "must" for anyone who wants to understand the principles and themes found in Dali's works. Ades is one of the formost Dalinian scholars. Her book analyzes many of his most popular paintings and will assist the reader in understanding these as well as works not included in her book.

Rating:  Summary: The Mother of all Dali Books...Incredibly Awesome Review: This book is very thorough and well organized. It is organized by the paintings and works done within each year...yes, not just his paintings folks but sculptures and jewelry and other miscellany...like I said, very thorough. This probably contains all of his paintings. The books pages are also printed on high quality paper. You might want to get it while you can, considering out of all the Dali books I've seen, I've never seen this one.
