Description
Created when Dali’ was at the height of his Surrealist powers, these 13 etchings with stencil, each hand-signed by the artist, comprise one of Dali’s most beautiful portfolios. Bursting with colour and extraordinary detailed, these images are highly significant in Dalinian terms. Motivated by the desire to juxtapose seemingly unrelated images and symbols, the artistic effect unites and transforms; making new what was never before. Dali’ succeeds in altering the meaning of the images, their relationship to each other and essentially creates a new concept and “way of seeing” in his own inimitable and unique Surrealistic style.
