Salvador Dalí
Instantly recognizable by his waxed, upturned mustache, the flamboyant Salvador Dalí is one of modern art’s most distinctive figures. He is also one of the icons of the 20-century avant-garde Surrealist movement, whose dreamlike images, drawn from the depths of the unconscious, he deployed in paintings, sculptures, prints and fashion, as well as in film collaborations with Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock.
Dalí was born in Figueres, Catalonia, and even as a youngster, displayed the sensitivity, sharp perception and vivid imagination that would later define his artworks. In these, he conjured childhood memories and employed religious symbols and Freudian imagery like staircases, keys and dripping candles to create unexpected, often shocking pieces.
Dalí's use of hyperrealism in conveying Surrealist symbols and concepts that subvert accepted notions of reality is epitomized in what is perhaps his most recognizable painting, The Persistence of Memory (1931), in which he depicts the fluidity of time through melting clocks, their forms inspired by Camembert cheese melting in the sun. His artistic genius, eccentric personality and eternal quest for fame made him a global celebrity.
“Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure,” he once said. “That of being Salvador Dalí.”

Her taste and refinement were recognized internationally, and she dressed many clients, including our artist's wife, Paul-César Helleu; this one has represented Mme Chéruet on many occasions Paul César Helleu (1859-1927) is a French painter and engraver; he entered the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris in 1876, in the studio of Jean-Léon Gérôme, but more attracted by outdoor painting, he became the friend of Claude Monet, Giovanni Boldini, among others.

- Salvador Dali « The Fantastic Ride » Lithograph Surrealist 20th CenturyBy (after) Salvador DaliLocated in Beuzevillette, FR"The Fantastic Ride" is a lithograph signed in the lower right corner by the Spanish artist Salvador Dali (1904-1989). It is an artist proof numbered 63/175. Dali is a leading artist, even a genius of the XXth century. He is known for his independence to the imagination and the right to madness. This atypical personality is in constant pursuit of the irrational. Dali is an artist of surrealism, a movement that focuses on the notion of dreams, reason and thoughts. In this work we feel a strong inspiration to the Italian futurism in his way of cutting the movement of the horse. A woman's body is represented in the foreground with strong similarities to his work "Dream caused by the flight of a bee...Category
