Salvador Dalí: Printings-The Image of Fantasy

Overview

Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) is known as one of the leading Surrealist painters. Born in Figueras, a small town in Spain, Dalí showed amazing talent for painting from an early age and went to art school in Madrid. Later, after meeting Picasso, Miró, Breton, and others in Paris, he joined the Surrealist movement and developed his own style using double images and detailed expressions.

Dalí’s talents were exceedingly wide-ranging. He excelled not only in painting but also in creating prints, sculpture, objects, stage art, jewelry designs, advertisements, movies, and literary works. Keen and deeply versed in printmaking, Dalí created more than 1,600 works during his lifetime. While Dalí's distinctive images, such as “soft watches” and “disfigured bodies,” are inherited in his prints, the soft lines of his etchings and his outstanding drawing ability reveal his delicate sensibility.

This exhibition features approximately 220 prints, mainly from the 1960s to the 1970s, up to the last years of Dalí's life, and will allow viewers to appreciate the essence of Dalí, the greatest genius of the 20th century.
