The strength of this study--in fact, its undeniable contribution to our knowledge of DalI--lies in its very detailed and comprehensive exposition--indeed the close and quite perceptive analysis of the 'little things, ' as they emerge in DalI's early works. . . . Tiny Surrealism is a valuable contribution to a more comprehensive understanding of DalI's art and aesthetics. --Haim Finkelstein, author of Salvador DalI's Art and Writing, 1927-1942

Written in a lucid and readable style appropriate even for the novice student of surrealism, Tiny Surrealism excavates a different side to Dali: that of the empathetic, stunningly perspicacious, and vulnerable man, who is always favoring the underdog... Tiny Surrealism has great potential to serve as an introduction to Dali's complex oeuvre. -Abigail Susik, Modernism/Modernity -- Abigail Susik Modernism/Modernity Tiny Surrealism is a solid, nuanced piece of scholarly inquiry... Rothman offers a fresher perspective and a richer vocabulary to rethink Dali's place in the surrealist universe. Tiny Surrealism successfully rescues Dali from such unfair critical isolation and sheds overdue light on the intricacies of such a multidimensional artist. -Pablo Baler, Hispania -- Pablo Baler Undergraduates and general audiences will find distinct new approaches to the well-known but inadequately analyzed artist Dali. Rothman's book opens pathways to insert Dali into the scholarly discourses surrounding modern art. -Choice Choice Rothman's book is a creative, readable, and invigorating reevaluation of the early career of Salvador Dali, one of the most recognizable figures in twentieth century art and intellectual history, yet also one of the most vexing and misunderstood... Rothman's discussions of Dali's texts and paintings are consistently enlightening and provocative, and the book promises to make a substantive impact in the fields of modernism and surrealism. -Jonathan Eburne, author of Surrealism and the Art of Crime -- Jonathan Eburne The strength of this study-in fact, its undeniable contribution to our knowledge of Dali-lies in its very detailed and comprehensive exposition-indeed the close and quite perceptive analysis of the 'little things,' as they emerge in Dali's early works...
