Published by Picador, 1976, softcover, condition: very good.

Salvador Dalí (19041989) was one of the most colourful and controversial figures in 20th century art, renowned for his striking Surrealist painting style. He was strongly influenced by the writings of Sigmund Freud, as well as the Paris Surrealists who sought to establish the greater reality of the human subconscious over reason. Some of his most famous works include The Persistence of Memory, and the two Surrealist films Un Chien andalou (The Andalusian Dog) and LÂge dor (The Golden Age), made with the Spanish director Luis Buñuel. Hidden Faces is his only novel, and was first published in 1944.
