Adam and Eve

By Salvador Dalí­

Located in Toronto, Ontario

Salvador Dali (1904-1989) is Surrealism's most accomplished and iconic practitioner. His work is eccentric, elaborate, and mysterious, with an avant-garde style that explores the depths of consciousness and dream-like states. Prolific and endlessly inventive, Dali worked in almost every possible artistic medium; film, sculpture, photography, fashion and of course painting. Some of his earliest etchings date to the 1930's, as he worked in the graphic arts at the beginning of his career. "Adam & Eve" comes from a series called "Our Historical Heritage." The portfolio depicts eleven events and historical figures from the Hebrew scriptures (the Torah or Old Testament), including Noah's Ark, Joseph, Moses, and more. This portfolio emphasizes Dali's influence by religious themes, and is created with his signature mastery and style. This etching depicts the pivotal moment in the biblical story, when temptation strikes Adam and Eve, as they sit in the Garden of Eden and are lured to the lustrous forbidden fruit hanging from the tree of knowledge. Eve's hand wraps around the apple while Adam's reaches for it, as the serpent watches...
