Recenzii
In Michèle Gerber Klein's new biography, Surreal, Gala Dalí gets her due . . . Gerber Klein concludes that Gala Dalí was more than a muse and more than a partner-that what she did was unquantifiable. But one thing is certain: Whatever else, she was a woman who knew her own worth
Michele Gerber Klein's biography of Gala Dali is proof she was far more than just a muse . . . it canters . . . the book is peppered with vivid vignettes and arresting images
There was never just one genius in the Dalí household. This revealing biography of the incredibly influential but often overlooked Gala Dalí dives into the life of the woman who was known as the Mother of Surrealism, and explores how her taste in culture, art, and fashion, paired with her sharp mind for business, helped influence generations of artists and their admirers, and created a roadmap for creative collaboration that was decades ahead of its time
An overdue, comprehensive biography of a Surrealist instigator. Klein's account of one of the driving forces of the Surrealist movement is wonderfully thorough and rescues Gala Dalí from being cast in the role of 'mere' muse, reclaiming her as the definitive artist and collaborator she was . . . convincingly demonstrates how Gala was a singular player in the development of a major 20th-century art movement
A textured, comprehensive portrait . . . . an intriguing look into the growth of the Surrealist movement and the unseen power dynamics that underlie how art gets made and who gets credit. Enriched by a novelist's flair for detail, it's a worthy tribute to an enigmatic figure in art history
Michele Gerber Klein-at long last-gives Gala Dalí the close-up she deserves. When Gala met Salvador, they met their destinies. The more she erased herself in marrying the soon-to-be world-famous Surrealist, the more she recreated herself as muse, fan wife, money manager, life coach, artistic collaborator, and model for some of the most sensuous portraits of a mature woman ever painted. Surreal takes us backstage at the endless performance piece that was the couple's life's work and life's play-a salient ingredient-and reshuffles art history along the way. Pour a stiff Pernod or Absinthe, kick back, and enjoy this delightfully sparking read
Gerber Klein's exquisitely portrayed and wickedly amusing account is a romp through the annals and escapades of an avant-garde movement that profoundly informs artistic discourse today. The life of Gala Dalí offers a through line of the Surrealist movement linking many of its key artists and writers. Intimate tales of Salvador and Gala Dalí, André Breton, Paul Éluard, Max Ernst, Tristan Tzara, and Federico García Lorca abound. As wife, lover, muse, model, artist, collaborator, performer, chronicler, editor, designer, publicist, and entrepreneur, Gala's unique hybrid role initially repelled but ultimately deeply influenced her period's male-dominated cultural clique
Original, engaging, and fiercely intelligent, Gala Dalí has at last inspired a biography that shares her own best qualities. In this brilliant book, Klein illuminates the crucial importance that Gala held not only for her famous husbands and lovers, but for avant-garde art as a whole.
Echoing her subject's vim, at a fast clip that never lags and often surprises, Michèle Gerber Klein shows how Gala Dalí put the 'extra' in her extraordinary, century-defining life. Designer, author, model, fashion icon, mother, publicist, business partner, architect of her husband's career-Gala's ambitions took over whatever room and role she found herself in. Surreal is a spirited journey around the world and through a life that was an enigmatic work of art
This compelling biography explores the making of Gala Dalí, a force of life who was not only ahead of her time and but a pivotal figure within Surrealism's creative maelstrom. More than fascinating expose of Gala's life and times, Surreal sheds new light on the artistic themes that resonate so powerfully with generations of artists that have followed, including those with whom I have a heartfelt connection
A vivid portrait of a formidable woman who was by turns an inspiration, a force, a muse, lover, and a tiger
The long-awaited, definitive biography of Gala Dalí, Surreal unmasks this famous yet little-known queen of the twentieth-century art world, who graced the canvases, inspired the poetry, and influenced the careers of her illustrious husbands and lovers.
Using previously undiscovered material, Michèle Gerber Klein tells the riveting story of Gala Dalí, who broke away from the her cultured but penurious background in pre-Revolutionary Russia to live in Paris with both France's most famous poet, Paul Éluard, and artist Max Ernst. By the time she met the budding artist Salvador Dali in 1929, Gala was known as the Mother of Surrealism. She rapidly became his mentor and protector, marrying him in 1934 and subsequently engineering their vast fortune. At a time when artists were celebrities, Gala acted as the ambassador of the Surrealist movement, spreading its popularity across the globe.
Gala was a heroine whose originality captivated people wherever she went, and her life story has everything : glamour; drama; true love, twisted love; ambition; money; art; defiance and daring. In this vivid, detailed rendering, Gala steps out of the shadows, revealing a charismatic figure who played a pivotal role in the art world, yet has never received the full recognition she deserves.
