GIBSON, Ian
The Shameful Life of Salvador Dali
In this revelatory study, Gibson shows how Dali lived a 'shameful life' in every way - underlying his exhibitionism was an intense feeling of shame; as an adolescent he was crushed by an extreme sense of inferiority - his salvation lay in the creation of an outrageously exhibitionist persona dedicated to doing 'shameful' things. He explores the literary side to Dali's career and re-examines the two principal relationships of his life: with Lorca and the enigmatic libidinous Gala.
