“The Art of Love – L’art d’aimer” pays homage to Ovid’s “Ars amatoria,” a poem that was published in Rome around 1BC. Here, Dalí has translated Ovid’s lessons on love, seduction and intrigue into a colorful tour de force. Everything feminine is accentuated. Comprised of etchings, lithographs, and woodcut engravings, it is not only one of the most rare books by the artist, but one of his most lyrical efforts in this medium. The works are sensual, playful and show a quality unknown from most of his early paintings: a tenderness of sorts and a loose caressing of the form that differs greatly from his signature style known to feature crisp images rendered with Renaissance-esque precision. But there also is a notion of nostalgia inherent in these works, evoked by dark overtones. Perhaps it reflects Dalí’s awareness of entering the last phase of his life or the decreasing health of his longtime partner and wife Gala, who would die only a few years later in 1982.

Salvador Domingo Felipe Jacinto Dalí i Domènech, Marqués de Dalí de Pubol (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989), known as Salvador Dalí, was a prominent Spanish surrealist painter born in Figueres, Catalonia, Spain.

Dalí was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work.
