DESCRIPTION
SALVADOR DALÍ I DOMÈNECH (Figueres, 1904 - 1989)
"The hallucinogenic bullfighter".
Lithograph on Arches paper, copy 107/300.
Signed and justified in pencil.
Measurements: 72 × 53 cm; 88 × 67.5 cm (frame).
This lithograph is part of the imaginary developed by Salvador Dalí around The Hallucinogenic Bullfighter, one of his most famous compositions, where the artist deploys his characteristic surrealist language through the superimposition of images, ambiguous figures and visual associations of a dreamlike nature.
In the scene, human silhouettes and bullfighting elements are decomposed and recomposed in an unreal space, generating multiple simultaneous readings in which the figure of the bullfighter emerges in an almost illusory way among spots of color and suggested shapes.
Salvador Dalí is one of the most influential, recognizable and quoted figures of 20th century art, the undisputed protagonist of international surrealism and creator of a universal imaginary; his work is part of the collections of the most important museums in the world, such as the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, the MoMA in New York, the Tate Modern in London or the Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg (Florida).
