is a print by Salvador Dalí from his 1969 portfolio based on Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland. The work is a heliogravure, a printmaking process that uses a photographic image on a copper plate. The portfolio, published in 1969, contains twelve illustrations, one for each chapter of the book, along with a frontispiece etching.
Salvador Dalí and his Artwork
Surrealism: Dalí was a master of Surrealism, a 20th-century art movement that explored the unconscious mind through dreamlike and fantastical imagery. He described his works as "hand-painted dream photographs".
Recurring Themes: His art often features incongruous objects in desolate landscapes and meticulously rendered depictions of the unconscious.
This specific print shows figures, including the Queen of Hearts and Queen of Diamonds from playing cards, a central theme in the "Queen's Croquet Ground" chapter of Alice in Wonderland. |
