Fine art lithograph by Salvador Dalí titled "
Cybernetic Lobster Telephone." It is a part of his 1975-1976 "Imagination and Objects of the Future" portfolio.
The original "Lobster Telephone" was a Surrealist sculpture created by Dalí in 1936 for the English poet Edward James. The sculpture, a functional telephone with a plaster lobster replacing the handset, was made as an edition of eleven. Dalí believed that the juxtaposition of these unrelated objects could reveal unconscious desires and found both lobsters and telephones to have strong sexual connotations. He once wrote that he didn't understand why he was never served a cooked telephone when he asked for a grilled lobster in a restaurant.
The lithograph is an updated version of the sculpture with a "cybernetic" twist, showcasing Dalí's imaginative concepts for futuristic objects. The artwork is a color lithograph with drypoint on wove paper and was created in a limited edition. |
