Publisher's Synopsis
A Dalínian take on pleasures of the grape, 'The Wines of Gala' sets out to organize wines 'according to the sensations they create in our very depths.' Through eclectic metrics like production method, weight and colour, the book presents wines of the world in such innovative, Dalíesque groupings as 'wines of voluptuousness,' 'wines of the impossible,' and 'wines of light.' Bursting with imagery, the book features more than 140 illustrations by Dalí, many of which are appropriated artworks, including various classical nudes, all of them reconstructed with suitably Surrealist, provocative touches.
