Salvador Dali (1904-1989) was a surrealist artist from
Spain. He practiced many different types of art forms, but is best known for
his drafts and paintings. His strange and dream-like images were evoked from
his subconscious. Dali’s art explores deep into the mind of human psychology
and breaks away the realms of reality, by changing and manipulating objects so
that people would have to think about them in a different way.
Random House published an “Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland”
book, in 1969, featuring 12 heliogravures of paintings that Dali made for each
chapter of the book. The paintings were inspired by the 1865 novel, which was written by Lewis
Carroll. The series is titled ‘The Dali Alice Suite’, it is one of the most
rare sets of prints that are available of Dali’s work. The book was limited edition
and only 2,500 copies were originally sold.
To see more of Salvador Dali’s work, visit The Dali Museum
in St. Petersburg, Fla., which holds the largest collection of Dali’s works
in the United States.
