Provenance Ateliers Rigal, Paris Private Collection, France Literature Ralf Michler and Lutz Löpsinger 529-532 Catalogue Essay Including: The Art Institute; Buckingham Fountain; Water Tower; and Museum of Science and Industry Read More 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
