Salvador Dalí

Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was a Catalan Surrealist and one of the most influential artists of the twentieth century. Celebrated for technical precision and dreamlike imagery, he forged a distinctive visual language that bridged classical craft and avant-garde imagination.

Working across painting, sculpture, film, and especially printmaking, Dalí created landmark cycles illustrating literary classics such as Dante’s Divine Comedy, Cervantes’ Don Quixote, and Lautréamont’s Les Chants de Maldoror. These works, realized as etchings, lithographs, and wood engravings, translate his surreal iconography into finely crafted graphic art.

Dalí’s prints—often produced with leading European workshops—remain sought after by collectors for their virtuosity and narrative power. His enduring legacy as a Surrealist icon and master printmaker continues to shape modern visual culture.
