A Dalínian take on pleasures of the grape and a \u003cstrong\u003ecoveted collectible\u003c\/strong\u003e, the book sets out to \u003cstrong\u003eorganize wines \"according to the sensations they create in our very depths.\"\u003c\/strong\u003e Through eclectic metrics like production method, weight, and color, the book presents wines of the world in such innovative, Dalíesque groupings as \"Wines of Frivolity,\" \"Wines of the Impossible,\" and \"Wines of Light.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Bursting with imagery, the book features\u003cstrong\u003e more than 140 illustrations\u003c\/strong\u003e by Dalí. Many of these are \u003cstrong\u003eappropriated artworks\u003c\/strong\u003e, including various classical nudes, all of them reconstructed with suitably Surrealist, provocative touches, like Jean-François Millet's \u003cem\u003eThe Angelus\u003c\/em\u003e, one of Dalí's favorite points of reference over the decades. Dalí also included what is now considered one of the\u003cstrong\u003e greatest works from his late \"Nuclear Mystic\" phase\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cem\u003eThe Sacrament of the Last Supper \u003c\/em\u003e(1955), which sets the iconic biblical scene in a translucent dodecahedron-shaped space before a Catalonian coastal landscape. Dalí was by this stage a devout Catholic, simultaneously captivated by science, optical illusion, and the atomic age.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The first section is dedicated to \"Ten Divine Dalí Wines,\" an overview of 10 important wine-growing regions, while the second develops Dalí's \u003cstrong\u003erevolutionary ordering of wine by emotional experience\u003c\/strong\u003e, instead of by geography or variety. Rather than any prescriptive classification, it's a \u003cstrong\u003eflamboyant, free-flowing manifesto in favor of taste and feeling\u003c\/strong\u003e, as much a multisensory treat as a\u003cstrong\u003e full-bodied document of Dalí's late-stage oeuvre\u003c\/strong\u003e, in which the artist both reflected on formative influences and refined his own cultural legacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWinner of the 2018 Gourmand World Cookbook Awards\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Taschen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Taschen\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePub Date:\u003c\/b\u003e 2017-10-13\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBISAC:\u003c\/b\u003e Art|Individual Artists|Artists' Books|Cooking|Entertaining|General|Cooking|Beverages|Alcoholic - Wine\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.15 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783836567725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eASIN:\u003c\/b\u003e -\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSKU:\u003c\/b\u003e SP-9783836567725\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taschen","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52123876000025,"sku":"SP-9783836567725","price":69.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/0380\/5209\/files\/9783836567725_spiral.png?v=1773735705","url":"https:\/\/westbindery.com\/products\/dali-the-wines-of-gala","provider":"West Bindery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
