Beschreibung:

Salvador Dalí Vénus; and Venus de las constellaciones con picador (Venus; and Venus of the Constellations with Bullfighter) 1974; and 1975 Two etchings with drypoint, on Richard de Bas paper, with full margins, both I. various sizes, both S. 78.5 x 58.2 cm (30 7/8 x 22 7/8 in.) both signed and inscribed 'H.C.' in pencil (two hors commerce impressions, the editions were 75 and 25 artist's proofs), published by Ateliers Rigal, Paris, both unframed.
Provenance Ediciones Polígrafa, Barcelona Literature Ralph Michler and Lutz W. Löpsinger 677 and 790 Artist Bio Salvador Dalí Spanish • 1904 - 1989 Salvador Dalí was perhaps the most broadly known member of the Surrealist movement of the early twentieth century. Heavily influenced by Sigmund Freud, the avant-garde style explored consciousness and dream-like states through exaggerated landscapes and bizarre or grotesque imagery. Using the means of painting, sculpture, printmaking, film and literature, Dalí explored these ideas with a meticulous hand and inventive wit. Although known for his role in Surrealism, Dalí was also a seminal example of celebrity showmanship and the cult of personality, a phenomenon that dominates popular culture today. Always a colorful and flamboyant presence with his signature cape, wide-eyed expression and trademark upturned waxed mustache, Dalí was a master of self-promotion and spectacle. View More Works
