Surrealism

Developed in the 1920s from the Dada movement, Surrealism took off in Paris through visual art and literature. The definitive trait of Surrealist artists is their general neglect for established norms in traditional art, forgoing standards and reason to create artwork full of unexpected pairings, unnatural juxtapositions and an overall feeling of astonishment. Through the Surrealism art, the leading artists of the movement (names like André Breton, Marcel Duchamp and Joan Miró) hoped to challenge the accepted cultural, social, political and personal views of society.

Salvador Dali Divine Comedy Our Lady of
the Annunciation Salvador Dali Divine Comedy woodblock engraving "Our Lady of the Annunciation"

Purgatory - plate 10
Medium: woodblock engraving. During the 1950's Salvador Dali was commissioned by the Italian Government to illustrate The Divine Comedy by Dante Alighieri. Dali created 101 watercolors to represent scenes from Dante's travels through Inferno, Purgatory and Paradise. However, the extravagantly surrealistic art works were not well received by the Italian public at the time and the government canceled the project. Fortunately, French publisher Joseph Foret was interested and work began on the engraving of woodblocks, chosen as the best medium to represent the nuances of Dali's compositions into print format. The woodblocks were destroyed after printing. This impression was printed on BFK Rives wove paper and issued in 1964 by Les Heures Claires in a total edition of 4765. The image measures 10 x 7 1/4 inches (255 x 187 mm) with full original margins; the full sheet measuring 13 x 10 1/4 inches (330 x 263 mm). The Divine Comedy is held to be one of Dali's masterpieces and the artist himself considered this series to be among his most important works. A rich, magnificent impression. Not signed.
