Salvador Dali

Salvador Dali (1904-1989), a Spanish surrealist, was known for being a showman and flamboyant eccentric in both his work and personal life. More specifically, Dali was famous for his unique and hallucinogenic depiction of conflicting and intermingled images. When viewed as a whole, each work toys with the viewer's perspective, often featuring a combination of distorted figures, melding both human and animalistic characteristics, presented in the midst of a dreamlike and chaotic environment. Consequently, specific images within the work are difficult to identify when first viewing the piece.

The original drawing below was composed by Dali as a study for a painting entitled "Woman - Lion - Horse", created during the late 1960's or early 1970's. It was recently stolen from a private owner in Great Bend, Kansas.

"'Study for 'Woman - Lion - Horse'" Mixed Media, 1929-1931 28 1/2" x 23" x 28" 14" x 18"
