about

Salvador Dalí (Spain, 1904-1989).

Dalí probably has the highest profile of any artist associated with surrealism. His reputation has sometimes suffered under the weight of his grandiose showmanship, his avarice, and his questionable social views, and his imagery has been cheapened through endless bad reproductions hung on dorm room walls as stoner art, but underneath all the noise, his work remains what it always was: a fresh, potent, incorruptible corpus of art, executed nearly flawlessly, involving the rigorous conflation of the real and the feverishly imaginary, and marked by exuberance, on the one hand, and a subtle melancholy on the other.

This title of this composition comes from his painting of the same name, which is just the most prominent example of a motif that appears several times in his work: first in his film (with Luis Buñuel) L’Âge d’Or, then in another painting from 1937, Inventions of the Monsters, and finally in a much later work in watercolor and pastel, La Giraffe D’Avingon (1975).
