Review by Library Journal Review
The painting collection of the Salvador Dal! Museum in St. Petersburg, FL, is reproduced here and accompanied by a text from New York University fine arts professor Lubar. The essay breaks little new ground but does a good job of compiling and summarizing information from earlier publications, most notably Ian Gibson's The Shameful Life of Salvador Dal! (LJ 1/99), Dal!'s The Secret Life of Salvador Dal! (1942), and The Collected Writings of Salvador Dal! (Cambridge Univ., 1999). The book is most notable for the 94 full-color illustrations encompassing new acquisitions and other notable holdings. Included are several of Dal!'s best-known works and a large number of early canvasses from the 1920s. Given Dal!'s continuing popularity, this can be recommended for public and academic libraries.
