{"product_id":"salvador-dali-le-serpent-e-la-pomme","title":"Salvador Dalí - The Serpent and the Apple","description":"\u003cp\u003e Surrealist aesthetics emerged around the 1920s and encompassed all fields of artistic research. Specifically, in the visual arts, Surrealism sought to explore the human subconscious and translate it into artwork through a mechanical writing process based on dream analysis. Consequently, Surrealist artworks propose the representation of a dreamlike dimension, completely dissociated from reality. However, this representation often relies on a hyperrealistic formal rendering, precisely to paradoxically accentuate the illusory and ambiguous nature of the surreal dimension. This lithograph is part of a series created by Salvador Dalí inspired by the Holy Bible. This type of subject is extremely congenial to the surrealist and citational nature of the Catalan master's art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eCompared to Dalí's canvas works, this work stands out primarily for its distinctive minimalism. Indeed, instead of the exaggerated hyperrealist plasticity, here we find a composition resolved with the pictorial elegance of a few lines, sketches, and very light washes of color. The work is therefore extremely interesting in demonstrating how the master of Surrealism was capable of creating works of great evocative impact even with limited formal means at his disposal. Despite the composition's synthetic nature, the figures possess great expressive potential, and their surreal quality perfectly aligns with the sacred theme imposed by the Genesis episode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n \u003cp\u003eSalvador Dalí (Figueres 1904-1989). A major representative of historical Surrealism, he was a photographer, writer, and filmmaker (his collaboration with Luis Buñuel is famous) as well as a painter. His works are based on the principles of psychoanalytic associationism, following the teachings of André Breton. His style is characterized by a turgid, harsh hyperrealism, in which his subjects display an obsessive attention to detail. His compositions are a mix of free associations, biomorphic organisms, and cultural references.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vendere Quadri","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56218568393090,"sku":"VSUR001","price":2500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/7065\/3058\/files\/DALI_39c5034d-2472-4400-8895-5e5d105e5d80.jpg?v=1768474389","url":"https:\/\/cjfh11-ee.myshopify.com\/en\/products\/salvador-dali-le-serpent-e-la-pomme","provider":"Venderequadri","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
