Salvador Dalì, Myself at the Age of Six, Lifting with Extreme Precaution the Skin of the Sea to Observe the Dog Sleeping in the Shade of the Water, etching, 58x80 cm, 1988.
The etching was carried out at the Moret studio in Paris, using four different types of paper with a weight and a watermark created especially for the publisher. In order to produce a uniquely delicate work, 36 colors were applied by stencil at the Ateliers du Lys in Paris. Each etching has a signature on the lower right and a publisher’s seal and the print number in pencil on the lower left. The signature is printed and officially recognised as authentic for commercial sale.
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.
