Le cercle viscéral du cosmos (from the La Conquête du cosmos I portfolio)

1974

This combined etching and lithograph in colors explores cosmic themes through Dalí's visionary approach to space and existence. The visceral circle referenced in the title suggests both bodily and universal cycles within an interconnected cosmos. Created as part of La Conquête du cosmos I portfolio in 1974, the work employs embossing on Arches paper to create dimensional depth and textural interest. The interplay of color and line creates a dynamic composition that bridges the microscopic and macroscopic scales. This piece demonstrates Dalí's continued engagement with scientific and philosophical concepts translated into visual form.
