Salvador Dalì, The Visage of War, lithography, 50x65 cm, 1988

Lithograph by the surrealist master Salvador Dali, which proposes the subject of the famous unique work of the same name made in 1940.

This work encapsulates the trauma of the war, in particular is Dali's artistic vision of the two most violent wars of the last century, which the Spanish artist lived through in full: the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War.

The painting depicts a disembodied face hovering against an arid desert landscape. The face is withered like that of a corpse deformed by an expression of suffering. Small faces identical to the larger one are inserted into his mouth and orbits, which in turn have identical faces inside them, creating a multiplier effect and an infinite process. They swarm around the big face of the snakes.

The graphic work was created in 1988.
