In this striking drypoint print, Salvador Dalí renders the automobile as a surrealist vision, employing his signature dreamlike imagery to transform a symbol of modern American ingenuity into something simultaneously familiar and fantastical. The extensive hand-colouring in gouache adds rich, luminous tones that breathe life into the composition, reflecting Dalí's meticulous attention to colour and his theatrical artistic sensibility. Created as part of his homage to Leonardo da Vinci, the work draws a provocative parallel between the Renaissance master's visionary inventions and the mechanical innovations of the modern age.
