Information about the work
Artistic context
The art of Salvador Dalí is characterized by a radically subjective visual world in which dream, subconscious, and reality merge. In his works, precisely painted, almost Old Master-style forms encounter seemingly irrational scenes: melting clocks, distorted bodies, fragile architecture, and enigmatic landscapes. Dalí understood the painting as a stage for the unconscious—a place where inner images become visible without requiring rational explanation.
Central to his work is the "paranoid-critical method" he developed, with which he deliberately created hallucinations, ambiguities, and associations. Many of his motifs are designed to be ambiguous, allowing for multiple interpretations simultaneously—a play on perception, identity, and time. Dalí's original prints, in particular, occupy a unique position within his oeuvre. In collaboration with renowned printers and publishers, he produced lithographs, etchings, and woodcuts of high technical sophistication, making his iconic visual language accessible in a reproducible yet rigorously controlled form.
These works are particularly attractive to collectors because they showcase Dalí's central motifs—dreamscapes, symbolic figures, mythological and literary themes—in authentic, documented quality. They combine artistic eccentricity with meticulous craftsmanship and are among the most sought-after Surrealist works on the art market internationally.
Pablo Ruiz Picasso
Pablo Ruiz Picasso (1881–1973) is one of the most influential artists of the 20th century and shaped modern art like few others. His work encompasses painting, sculpture, ceramics, and especially an extensive graphic oeuvre that reflects his restless curiosity and formal experimentation.
Picasso understood art as a permanent process of questioning and reinvention. From Cubism through his Neoclassical phases to the free, almost archaic works of his late period, he always remained open to change. His late prints, in particular, reveal a special focus on line, gesture, and expression – reduced, immediate, and possessing great inner power.
His prints are now considered an independent, central component of his oeuvre and are highly regarded internationally. They combine spontaneity with technical mastery and make Picasso's thinking and seeing accessible in a particularly direct way.
