Les petits chevaux, from Poèmes de Mao Tse-Tung (The Little Horses, from Poems by Mao Zedong)
In this striking print, Salvador Dalí employs the delicate yet precise medium of heliogravure reworked in drypoint to conjure a dreamlike vision of small horses rendered with his signature surrealist intensity. Executed on Chinois ancien paper, the work carries an air of refined antiquity, its full margins framing the composition with an elegant restraint. Created as part of his illustrated edition of Mao Zedong's poems, Dalí bridges the poetic and the fantastical, merging Eastern literary tradition with his own unmistakable imaginative world.
