Surreal is a richly detailed and illuminating portrait of Gala Dalí, a woman often overshadowed by the
larger-than-life men in her orbit, most notably Salvador Dalí, but who emerges here as a force all her own.
Michèle Gerber Klein delves deep into Gala’s complex psychology, tracing her path from Russian émigré to
muse, manager, and mythmaker. The book challenges preconceived notions about Gala, revealing a woman both enigmatic and deeply influential in the surrealist movement. Intricately researched and elegantly written, this is a must-read for art lovers, biography fans, and anyone intrigued by the women behind the legends
