Les Caprices de Goya de Dali (Dali’s ‘Caprichos’ by Goya): 78 plates
Dalí's audacious reinterpretation of Goya's iconic *Los Caprichos* series transforms the Spanish master's original 1799 satirical etchings through the addition of drypoint reworking and vibrant stencil-coloring across seventy-eight heliogravures. By layering his own Surrealist sensibility onto Goya's nightmarish visions of social folly and superstition, Dalí creates a charged dialogue between two of Spain's most provocative artistic minds. Printed on luxurious Rives BFK paper with full margins, this portfolio stands as a bold testament to Dalí's belief that great art is never truly finished, but rather an evolving conversation across time.
