Dali – Baudoin

Was he a madman, a genius or a lover? Was he impotent, paranoid or simply shy? There is no shortage of labels for the landmark Surrealist painter Salvador Dalí, as well known for his acts of public bravado as for his extraordinary work. Edmond Baudoin, one of the most original talents in contemporary French comics, offers his depiction of the man behind the artist.   What emerges is the heartfelt and inimitable account of two artistic worlds, each possessed of its own rare intensity, meeting for the first time. Backed by rigorous research,  Dalí also includes a detailed timeline and bibliography.
