Salvador DALI (1904 - 1989), Spanish painter Salvador Dali Exceptional dedication in black felt-tip pen on the cover page of the German exhibition catalog of the “Städelsches Galerie” gallery in Frankfurt which was held from March 14 to May 5, 1974. Beautiful surrealist drawing, typical of Dalinian iconography, dated 1974, depicting a snail boat sailing majestically under an immense sun in the shape of a snail shell represented by the artist’s signature. 1974 edition, paperback quarto volume of 84 pages with rich content. Dimensions: 27.3 x 44.4 cm (open book) Drawing in good condition, note some slight, barely visible foxing. The snail, a symbol regularly present in his work, is one of Dali’s most obsessive fetishes, because it combines the idea of both a soft body and a hard envelope. This opposition is consistent with the Freudian psychological concept according to which individuals create (hard) defenses around the vulnerable (soft) psyche. The snail is also the symbol of time flowing slowly.
