Salvador Dalí

Anemone Per Anti-pasti, from Surrealistic Flowers (Field 72-7A; M&L 551)

This 1972 etching and heliogravure by Salvador Dalí presents a surrealist floral composition titled "Anemone Per Anti-pasti," combining his characteristic dreamlike imagery with botanical forms rendered through the sophisticated printmaking techniques of color etching and heliogravure. The work exemplifies Dalí's later exploration of naturalistic subjects filtered through his surrealist sensibility, executed on substantial Arches paper with full margins in an edition of 350 copies. The print bears both Dalí's signature in pencil and authentication marks, representing a significant example of his graphic work from the prolific Surrealistic Flowers series.
