Surrealistically, or The Amazing Life of Gala Dalí

By the time she met the up-and-coming painter Salvador Dalí, Gala was already called the mother of surrealism, and while the master rested on his laurels, she popularized the surrealist movement all over the world. Gala's life is one of scale, glamour, drama, true love, ambition, money, art, and audacity. And all this against the backdrop of two world wars, the revolution in Russia, and the civil war in Spain. In her meticulously crafted book, Michelle Klein brings Gala out of the shadows, revealing to the world a charismatic figure who played a key role in the art world but never received the recognition she deserved.
