SALVADOR DALI (1904-1989): SELF PORTRAIT.
Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His painterly skills are often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters. Dalí was highly imaginative, and also enjoyed indulging in unusual and grandiose behavior. To the dismay of those who held his work in high regard, and to the irritation of his critics, his eccentric manner and attention-grabbing public actions sometimes drew more attention than his artwork. Over the years Dali created many self portraits this being one of them, of just his eyes and nose. Signed in bottom right hand corner. 11.5x8.5 inches. Professionally mounted and framed and supplied with coa.
