Art Times has called Prestel's successful series of erotic sketchbooks, Wonderful little gifts for that special connoisseur of erotic drawing.A" The newest title in the series features the work of Salvador Dali, bringing together more than thirty sketches and watercolors that display the artist's classical training and skill as a draftsman. Admirers of Dali's work will recognize the imagery that lies beneath much of his erotic work yet many will be surprised by the quality of his sketches, which rival his paintings in their technical brilliance. Printed on quality stock and designed to imitate an artist's sketchbook-down to the cardboard cover and delicate red ribbon tie-this exquisite volume will please fans of Dali as well as erotic art collectors.

Salvador Dali : Erotic Sketches,

This review is from: Dali Salvador: Erotic Sketches (Hardcover)
A book containing some very interesting sketches by the Master Salvador Dali ,
many people won't like of the overtly sexual nature that many of the drawings contain but there are a number of fine examples of depth of his talented sketch work. While Dali took the art of self promotion to Ad nauseam , he still is considered by most to be the technically greatest artist of the 20th Century The presentation of the book itself is interesting with the ribbon closure but it is unnecessary and will be damaged eventually while stored on your bookshelves. A nice piece for the Dali collector but it is not a book I would recommend for all.

This review is from: Dali Salvador: Erotic Sketches (Hardcover)
As with others in this series, the authors have done an enticing job of collecting and reproducing the parts of a master's notebooks that don't often appear. This series includes a number of very classical nudes, including a stunning pencil drawing of his wife and muse, Gala. One or two display the simple fact of a couple coupling. The majority, however turn to the direction that only Dali could see, ranging outward toward some imagery that might leave a queasy feeling to anyone imagining a physical form of what's drawn
Also as with others in the series, the back cover lies way too close to the front. The brief essay at the back adds little, at least to my enjoyment, and the beribboned, die-cut cover adds a precious touch - in truth, I would happily have foregone that in favor of a lower price. Beautiful, but not a must-have. -- wiredweird
