It is the third and most comprehensive volume of autobiography by the most famous and controversial painter of the 20th century. Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) entered the ranks of the Surrealists in 1929 with a series of iconoclastic paintings which fused technical virtuosity with Freudian infantilism, leading to his invention of the "paranoiac-critical" method.
