Title : Diary of a Genius - Salvador Dali - Book
Summary :
A Dalinian apotheosis last night in the Temple of Knowledge before a fascinated crowd. Barely arrived in my Rolls-Royce stuffed with cauliflowers, greeted by thousands of photographers' flashes, I spoke in the great amphitheater of the Sorbonne. The trembling audience was waiting for decisive words. They got them." This Journal, written between 1952 and 1963, mixes tormented thoughts, obsessions, philosophical sallies, and amorous outpourings. It reveals in full light an extravagant and violently sincere Dali. For the painter, his own genius is beyond doubt. And this exercise in contemplation is far from vain: through writing, Dali goes beyond appearances and reconnects with the metaphysical ambition of his painting. Beyond this publicity with which he inundates himself, Dali pushes the awareness of his art to the edge of madness, in a burst of jubilant pleasure.
