"Dalí... Dalí... Dalí..." is an art monograph, first published in 1968 and subsequently reissued. Produced under the direct supervision of Salvador Dalí, the volume is arranged and edited by Max Gérard, a renowned French author, producer and film director, and a fervent supporter of the arts. The work contains 271 illustrations and 80 color plates, providing a broad perspective on Dalí's surrealist art, ideas, and writings, addressing themes such as war and the central figure of his artistic universe, Gala Dalí, the great love and muse of the artist. This edition dates back to 1976 and is printed in German. The book's frontispiece carries three distinct signatures of the artist: a central one, featuring a recognizable eye in Dalí's established style, and two laterally placed, right and left. Alongside the artist's inscriptions, there are several original drawings and a holographic date, positioned bottom right. Also present is the mention "Hommage de Gala" ("Homage to Gala"), accompanied by a small crown illustrated above her name, underlining the essential role of his wife in his artistic creation. The dedication "Pour Roberto y Adeline" complements the pages with a personal and intimate note.
