Weir, SimonAbstract
Salvador Dali, is known primarily as a Surrealist painter, dandy and provocateur. His theoretical works are far less known. Dali’s theories, interspersed throughout his eleven books and numerous essays and interviews range across the fields of art, architecture, psychology and science. In this thesis I examine these ideas, in particular Dali’s paranoiac
critical method, for their potential application in contemporary issues regarding representation and architecture.Salvador Dali, is known primarily as a Surrealist painter, dandy and provocateur.
