Salvador Dali, the artist and genius with the arrogantly curled moustache, is known even by millions of people who have never crossed the threshold of an art gallery. Dali was fully aware of his genius and he openly and immodestly admits this in his diary. The genius's diary surprises us throughout. Dali shamelessly reveals the most intimate human things. In it, we read how the artist thought, what kind of relationship he had with his wife Gala, why he was fascinated by rhinos and flies... In short, the diary is unusual, occasionally completely absurd, just like the famous painter, who, among other things, said: "The only difference between me and a madman is that I am not mad." For anyone interested in Dali and his life, we also recommend the book Gala: Dali's Sinful Muse, written by Tim McGirk.
