About the Item
Salvador Dalí is commonly regarded as one of the greatest Surrealist artists, whose personality was often displayed on his magnificent works of art. He practiced sculpting, advertising, printmaking, fashion, filmmaking, and more Dalí’s mischievousness and peculiar personality contributed to his status of an international celebrity, but he is better-known for his most distinct attribute: his mastery of art. Dalí’s significance and talent ranks him among the most versatile and prolific artists of the 20th century.
“Levi” is part of a religion-based series of prints that depict the “Twelves Tribes of Israel”. Each etching represents one of the tribes. Judah, Zebulon, Joseph, and more are included in this series. The Twelve Tribes of Israel, in the Bible, are the Hebrew tribes which were named after sons or grandsons of Jacob. His name was later changed to Israel, and the Hebrew people became known as Israelites. According to the Bible, Levi was the third son of Jacob and was also the founder of the Israelite Tribe of Levi or “the Levites”. The “Twelve Tribes of Israel” by Dalí is a series of thirteen etchings with a color stencil.
“Levi” is an example of how Dalí’s work was influenced by religious themes. In this image, we can see a man commandeering a large, beautiful ship through a body of water. The man on the ship is posed strongly, extending a sharp sword-like object in the direction the ship is heading. The ship is adorned with beautiful engraving and marks. There are large masts catching the wind and tugging the ship to its destination. The water has large waves that are fiery red, orange, and yellow in color. These waves are splashing against the bottom of the ship, presumably making the voyage a rough one. The sky above is a dreamy, light blue and land can be seen far in the distance. “Levi” is a 19.5 x 14.75- inch hand-signed etching with color stencil created in 1973.

Salvador Dalí
Instantly recognizable by his waxed, upturned mustache, the flamboyant Salvador Dalí is one of modern art’s most distinctive figures. He is also one of the icons of the 20th-century avant-garde Surrealist movement, whose dreamlike images, drawn from the depths of the unconscious, he deployed in paintings, sculptures, prints and fashion, as well as in film collaborations with Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock.
Dalí was born in Figueres, Catalonia, and even as a youngster, displayed the sensitivity, sharp perception and vivid imagination that would later define his artworks. In these, he conjured childhood memories and employed religious symbols and Freudian imagery like staircases, keys and dripping candles to create unexpected, often shocking pieces.
Dalí's use of hyperrealism in conveying Surrealist symbols and concepts that subvert accepted notions of reality is epitomized in what is perhaps his most recognizable painting, The Persistence of Memory (1931), in which he depicts the fluidity of time through melting clocks, their forms inspired by Camembert cheese melting in the sun. His artistic genius, eccentric personality and eternal quest for fame made him a global celebrity.
“Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure,” he once said. “That of being Salvador Dalí.”
