I have a Salvador Dali book by Robert Radford (PHAIDON books) which is very interesting and informative. It contains lots of photographs of his work and a lot of information on the artist himself. It is especially good if you r studying his work as it tells you about the ideas behind his work and his inspirations.

I am studying him i been studying dali for a year and a half now i think
I'm doing an art course at college but i am doing half time at acadamy school to do my art higher again i blame it on the sqa i think they marked my art writting exam paper wrong grrr i'm soo furious at them
my art teacher doesn't understand why i failed as i was one o the top art student in my year at school i've always had straight ones in art!!!
I'm studying more stuff of dali and i want to pass my exam this time so i'm gonna be trying to get most of the dali's book if i can i already got the book written by dali himself it very interesting explains his feelings and not to metion there are some sexual shit in it which had nuffin to do that i needed for my exam but it was intresting thou i have read about seven books i think i did spent time in borders in glasgow and spent times in libarys reading all of dali's book so that i could pass my exam

Read this book it's really good
I'm doing higher art too and i'm using the book for my expressive artist i.e dali. i find it very useful

The sqa fucked up my standard grade result too so i have an appeal in for it. The book is really useful. My art teacher thinks so aswell.
What school do you go to btw anyway?

Dali's books r very surreal and as you have probably noticed they r also very perverted.
You wouls be better off using a book like the one i told you about because it is more about his art and inspirations.

lol true

erm yeh the
the sqa did fucked my standard grade as well but i got an appeal for it and got a 1 :d

i don't go to school i used to go to Dalziel high school in motherwell then i went to Arbroath high school after the exam finished but i left that school due to an agruement with the guidance teacher

I'm an art student at Angus college I'm planning to go to Dundee school of art next year

I'm a big fan of Dali i should pass my higher art for the second time round

All of my units were A's but because the writing exam is about 70% of your final mark which i got a B for, my overall final grade was a B.

Awwwwww
That's a damn shame
I would like to do fine art painting and printmaking focussing on surrealism and abstract works.
Good luck with your course. I hope you get into art school and do what you want to do.

That didn't really matter because my portfolio got me into a HND.
