피카소는 달리를 “항상 달리는 선외 모터”라 불렀다. 달리는 자신을 머릿속에 광기가 치솟는 것을 탐닉하는 천재라 생각했다. 화가이자 조각가, 작가, 영화제작자로서 살바도르 달리(1904-1989)는 세기의 가장 유명한 노출자이며 괴짜이다 – 그리고 어딜 가든지 논쟁을 불러일으켰다. 그는 최초로 지그문트 프로이트의 통찰과 정신분석을 그림에 적용한 사람 중 한 명으로 독특한 감각과 상상력으로 접근하였다. 본 모노그래프는 이 악명 높은 초현실주의자를 완전한 색과 그 자신의 언어로 재조명하고 있다. 그의 도발적인 이미지는 쉽게 찾을 수 있다. 그의 30년 지기인 한 친구인 로버트 데스차네스는 달리의 대중적 이미지 이면의 모습으로 달리를 분석하였다.
