Mid Century Painted Paper Mache Bust of Salvador Dali, Spain, around 1970

About the Item

This mid-century painted papier-mâché bust of Salvador Dalí, crafted in Spain around 1970, is a whimsical tribute to the legendary surrealist artist. The bust captures Dalí's distinctive features, including his iconic mustache and expressive eyes, with playful exaggeration and artistic flair. The vibrant paintwork highlights the artist's flamboyant personality and unique style, echoing the surreal and imaginative world Dalí himself often portrayed in his work. This piece reflects the mid-century fascination with pop culture icons and artistic experimentation, utilizing lightweight materials like papier-mâché for an accessible and expressive art form. This bust is not only a striking decorative piece but also a homage to one of the most influential figures in 20th-century art. A unique piece which is a great eye-catcher for your antique, modern, space age or mid-century interior.
