Salvador Dalì, The Painting, from the series The Arts, lito-screen printing, 70x50 cm

The Painting: lito-screen printing by the surrealist master Salvador Dalì. In the middle there is a female nude that is posing for an invisible artist. The canvas where we can see the model portrayed is on the foreground, with the illusion that the viewer could be at the same time the author. On the back, there is a recurring surrealist landscape where lines bring our gaze towards a single vanishing point. In this artwork there is also a rocky landscape of Port Lligat, his native land and childhood memory.

The painting is the art that more than others belongs to Dalì's world, because he dedicated all his existence to representation of forms, ideas, feelings, visions and dreams painting. So we can suppose that the invisible artist isn't the viewer, but Dalì himself.

The lito-screen printing is signed lower right and numbered lower left.
