Paul Chimera

Dali & His Doctor Paul Chimera

The backstory of the remarkable bond between Surrealist artist Salvador Dali and the man who found a cure for skin cancer -- Dr. Edmund Klein. In addition to a biographical sketch of Dr. Klein, the book chronicles the creation of a unique personal collection of drawings Dali did for Klein, and describes how that collection was made public and garnered international headlines. It's both a poignant and, at times, humorous read. Of course, it all began when Dali developed a medical issue that required the best skin cancer guy in the world. That led the Master to the doorstep of Edmund Klein, M. D. The rest, as they say, is medical -- and art -- history.
