Salvador Dalí was a renowned Spanish Surrealist painter and printmaker known for his exploration of subconscious imagery. Born on May 11, 1904, in Figueras, Spain, he developed a mature artistic style influenced by his discovery of Sigmund Freud's writings on subconscious imagery and his association with the Paris Surrealists, a group that sought to emphasize the importance of the human subconscious over rationality. Dalí's approach involved inducing hallucinatory states in himself, a process he referred to as "paranoiac critical."
Between 1929 and 1937, Dalí produced the paintings that made him one of the world's most recognized Surrealist artists. His works depicted dreamlike scenes where ordinary objects were transformed, juxtaposed, and metamorphosed in unconventional and irrational ways. Dalí's meticulous attention to detail and his unique portrayal of objects within sunlit landscapes contributed to the enigmatic nature of his art. "The Persistence of Memory" (1931), featuring melting watches in a serene setting, is one of his most famous works. Dalí also collaborated with Spanish director Luis Buñuel on Surrealistic films like "Un Chien andalou" (1929; An Andalusian Dog) and "L'Âge d'or" (1930; The Golden Age).
In the late 1930s, Dalí shifted his painting style toward a more academic approach influenced by the Renaissance painter Raphael. His ambiguous political views during the rise of fascism led to his expulsion from the Surrealist group. He spent time in the United States from 1940 to 1955, engaging in various creative projects and self-promotional endeavors. During the 1950s to 1970s, he explored religious themes and continued to depict subjects such as childhood memories and his wife, Gala. While technically accomplished, his later works are often considered less acclaimed than his earlier creations.
One of Dalí's revealing books is "The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí" (1942), which offers insights into his thoughts and experiences. The artwork titled "Woman riding a horse" is an etching created after Salvador Dalí's style and bears his influence. It is marked as an artist proof (Epreuve d'artiste) and is signed in the lower right corner. The piece's dimensions are 40 x 30 cm.
