Salvador Dalí­
Le Detroit de Gadalore (The Straits of Gadalore)

1975

About the Item

Salvador Dalí was perhaps the most broadly known member of the Surrealist movement of the early twentieth century. Heavily influenced by Sigmund Freud, the avant-garde style explored consciousness and dream-like states through exaggerated landscapes and bizarre imagery. This original color etching "Le Détroit de Gadelore" (The Pass of Gadelore) is from the series of drypoint etchings entitled "La Quête du Graal" (The Search for the Grail). The quest for the grail has long inspired dreamers and romantics, as well as seekers hoping to scrape away the thin veneer of Christianity in search of old European themes of the otherworld, cauldrons of rebirth, and cycles of kingship. This splendid 20th-century livre d’artiste stands in a long line of great illustrated editions; the twisting dreamscapes and semi-hallucinatory images that make Dalí’s work so unique superbly complement the heroic legend.
