World behind the Door: An Encounter with Salvador Dali

128 pp. | Watson-Guptill | August, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8230-0416-4 $16.95
(4) YA Art Encounters series. In this series, artists' processes are illumined through conversations with fictional protégés. This entry offers a twist, as Dali's possible madness is underscored by discussions with Jinx, an imagined character from an alternate (Daliesque) reality. The trope blurs real and surreal boundaries for readers in an attempt to mimic Dali's painting style, to mixed--sometimes very confusing--effect. Reading list, timeline, websites.
