Lithograph by Surrealist master Salvador Dali, who repurposes his painting "Still Life Alive."
The work is executed on watermark paper on sheet BFK RIVES France infinity Work signed in plate at lower right and numbered MCCXXV/MM at lower left. The lithograph bears the characteristic GDALI publisher's embossed stamp.
Dali takes up the classical theme of still life translated, however, into a surreal scenario in which, in an ironic way, the food and objects on the table come to life and seem to move. In Dali's artistic evolution, the association between food and the subjects that animate his masterpieces is persistent. Perhaps not everyone knows that some of the artist's most celebrated works are inspired precisely by the pleasures of the table.
1904 Figueras, Spain
Salvador Dalí was born in 1904, in Figueras, Catalonia. He was one of the most well-known surrealist artists of the twentieth century, and he was a great experimenter of the pictorial, theatrical and cinematographic fields. His style is original and it is distinguishable due to the provocative subject matter. He was able to integrate the Freudian theory of dream analysis in his works, expressing the workings of the unconscious mind and associate words, images and thoughts to provoke a specific kind of emotion in the viewers, revealing also the artist’s darkest secrets and an alternative reality. Thanks to his expertise as a draftsman and a colorist, he used a variety of techniques and mediums to create his artwork, such as lithography, sculpting, oil painting, fashion designing and writing. Dalí’s work was inspired by Pablo Picasso, whom he met in Paris, and by an Italian painter, called Giorgio de Chirico. Since he used the themes of death, eroticism, childhood memories, dreams, his artworks can be viewed as modern, innovative, deep, symbolic and sometimes grotesque.
