We focus on ten essential secrets from this bizarre treatise including: the secret of the painter's pointed mustache, the sleep technique known as the 'slumber with a key', rules for lovemaking, the secret of having a spider as a pet, pigments to rely on and those to banish from your palette, and many more! So did he succeed in saving modern art with Dalinian magic? Let’s find out!
