Summary
Surrealist painter Salvador Dalí eccentrically presents his ideas of painting, judging good or bad the prominent figures in the history of art, and expounding on 50 "secrets" that cover topics like the movements of types of brushes, blending, objects needed in a painter's space, the characteristics of colors, sleep, spiders, and sea urchins.
Dalí surmised that no one even remotely interested in painting would be able to avoid consulting this wry amalgamation of testimonials, instruction, and arguments. It is a work that would serve as yet another step in positioning Salvador Dalí, as his very name indicated, to do no less than to rescue painting from the void of modern art.
