Dalí Pop-Ups

Courtney Watson McCarthy, Martin Howard

Surreal paintings from the inimitable Salvador Dalí, brought to life through spectacular pop–up pages

Produced in association with the Dalí estate this book brings some of the most celebrated paintings of Salvador Dalí to spectacular three-dimensional life, providing new layers of appreciation of the surreal genius of the artist.

Decades after his death, Dalí’s trademark moustache and dandy outfits remain instantly recognizable, while his art has inspired and continues to inspire new generations of artists, from Andy Warhol to Damien Hirst. Enigmatic, playful, deceptive, outrageous, and—above all—adventurous, Salvador Dalí will be remembered as one of the most important artists of the twentieth century.
