We have acquired two original lithographies of the master of the surrealism, Salvador Dali.

The first one is entitled “La tauromachie” (The Bullfighting), is numbered 21/250 and is signed Dali at the bottom right; a work full of colour and action, impetuous like its author.

 The second one was acquired more recently and is part of a series entitled “Le bestiaire de La Fontaine Dalisine”. The title of this work is “La cour du lion” (The Lion’s Court). Inspired by La Fontaine fables, Dali produced 12 different works which were printed on 3 different types of paper. The work that we present is numbered 13/250 and was engraved by pochoir with a dry point on a Japan nacre paper. Even though it is painted in pastel colours we definitely recognize Dali style. His creative genius is incredible. Dimension of the work is 50 cm x 48 cm on a paper of 76 cm x 58 cm. Each etching was signed and numbered by the artist. They were published in 1974 at the Éditions des Maîtres Contemporains in Paris.

We specially invite you at the gallery to admire these exceptional works of Salvador Dali, the irrefutable master of surrealism.
