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.
"Naphtali” is part of a religion-based series of prints that depict the “Twelves Tribes of Israel”. Each etching represents one of the tribes. Levi, 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. Naphtali was a son of Jacob and full-brother to Dan. Not much is said about Naphtali in the Bible. Naphtali became respected for his intelligence and wisdom, which became a testament to his spiritual strength. The symbol of the Tribe of Naphtali is a gazelle.
“Naphtali” is just one example of how Dalí’s work was influenced by religious themes. In this image, we see a tall, slender gazelle with large horns, and messy fur. Perhaps the gazelle’s most interesting attribute are its legs, which are purely bones. The gazelle’s grey eyes appear hypnotized by what it is seeing. One tooth is emerging out of the gazelle’s mouth with a drop of liquid hanging down from it. Next to the gazelle, a woman is shown falling through the sky; her silver hair flowing upwards as she flails her arms over her head and tips backwards as birds fly casually about the scene. Her large, bright yellow dress contrasts with the soft blue mountains present in the vast distance. “Naphtali” 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.”
