Salvador Dali's Art and Writing, 1927-1942 examines the evolution of Dali's art during the 1920s and 30s, when he was associated, first with the Catalan avant-grade, and then with the Surrealist group in Paris.

During this period, Dali's painting style changed radically, a phenomenon that has never been fully accounted for in the extensive literature on this subject.

Haim Finkelstein's study is the first to examine these writings in detail as the foundation for the evolution

of Dali's unique artistic vision.

Reviews for Salvador Dalí's Art and Writing, 1927–1942: The Metamorphosis of Narcissus

'... certainly one of the better books on Dali I have encountered ... the text is an excellent exposition of what was within Dali's horizon of expectations almost moment by moment. In this respect, the book is exemplary, going well beyond the tendency towards generalisation apparent in almost every other book-length work on the artist.' British Journal of Aesthetics ' ... this exuberant, well-focused study charts the metamorphosis of an unsure, neurotic Catalan painter into a dynamic, neurotic internationally famous (ex)-Surrealist.'
