“Surrealism is me,” once said the Spanish artist Salvador Dali. And in general, he did not exaggerate at all. In the admiring and scrupulous presentation of the French critic Michel Nyuridsani, we are presented with the story of a man whose main masterpiece was his life, built in accordance with his own canons of extreme extravagance. He fought shyness by flaunting his shortcomings and made his face known to the whole world. In the prime of his career, he allowed himself to abandon painting and create in other genres: photography, interviews, a museum, his own mustache and endless clowning … Despite the aura of outrageousness and unpredictability surrounding him, Dali was extremely rational, avoided surprises and addictions, above all passion and sex, and replaced them with a state of «continuous intellectual erection», in which he not only joked or shocked, but produced paradoxes designed to destroy stereotypes of thinking.
