Synopsis
Salvador Dali is one of the most well-known artists of the 1900's. The talent, perception, and astounding ego that marked this surrealist artist was with him from his childhood. In The Shameful Life of Salvador Dali , biographer Ian Gibson proposes that this avant-garde egoist was actually compensating for a very deep-seated sense of shame. Using Dali's diary, autobiography, and personal letters, Gibson weaves together the details of Dali's life to offer as evidence. "The world will admire me. Perhaps I'll be despised and misunderstood, but I'll be a great genius, I'm certain of it."
