Salvador Dalí

La Machine à coudre, for Hommage à Leonardo da Vinci (American Inventions) (The Sewing-Machine, for Homage to Leonardo da Vinci (American Inventions))

A surrealist drypoint print by Salvador Dalí, this work features hand-colouring in vibrant gouache that animates the composition with the dreamlike intensity characteristic of the artist's vision. Created as part of the *Hommage à Leonardo da Vinci (American Inventions)* series, the piece reimagines the humble sewing machine as a vessel of surrealist fantasy, bridging Renaissance ingenuity with modern mechanical form. Printed on BFK Rives paper with full margins, the work exemplifies Dalí's mastery of combining printmaking tradition with his own boundless, hallucinatory imagination.
