Lot description
Salvador Dali (B. 1904, Figueras, Spain – D. 1989, Figueras, Spain) is undoubtedly one of the most influential and well known artists of the twentieth century. He was an incredibly diversified artist, never defined by one media in particular, working in painting, prints, sculpture, design and photography. As a defining figure of the Surrealist movement, Dali’s work is characterized by his imaginative and eccentric compositions filled with melting clocks, spindly-legged elephants, and distorted disembodied faces, set in symbolic dreamscapes. His art is replete with symbolic allusion.
