   "Quite apart from my intrinsic value as a painter- which I am one of the first to be ready to discuss- one thing is certain: that if 'painting' is to survive our epoch of barbarous mechanical progress, this continuity of painting will have its starting point in Salvadore Dali; and it is for this reason that this book is destined to have a daily-growing vital interest. For no person, whether directly or remotely interested in the real phenomenon of painting, will be able to avoid consulting it."
