Dali in Holographic space - Paperback

by Linda Lissack (Illustrator), Linda Lissack (Author), Selwyn Lissack (Illustrator)

Dali in Holographic Space is an epic journey into holographic space with the legendary 20th century Spanish artist Salvador Dali. It is a distinct translation of the magical blend of art and science as they collide, revealing the vast and intricate workings of Dali's mind and talents. Many books have been written about Dali's prolific art and his eccentric personality. A lessor known fact is in the twilight of his career he actually achieved his goal of working in the third and fourth dimension when South African artist Selwyn Lissack introduced him to holography. A master of rearranging particles to show another point of view, Dali reveled in the technology which allowed him to work within a three dimensional canvas using laser light as his brush. Between the years of 1971 through 1975, combining art and science to express his ideas, free from the confines of linear space, Dali created seven holographic works of art.
