This poster shows the surrealist work \"The Pharmacist of Ampurdan Seeking Absolutely Nothing\" from 1936.\u003cbr\u003e\nDimensions: 20 in x 30 in (51 cm x 76 cm)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSalvador Dalí was a Spanish surrealist artist renowned for his technical skill, precise draftsmanship, and the striking and bizarre images in his work. He moved to Surrealism in the late 1920s and joined the Surrealist group in 1929, soon becoming one of its leading exponents. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThough Dali's image of him is specter-like, the busy-about-nothing pharmacist was a real person, accurately depicted. Here he could well be a statue, like one of the mysterious monuments in the paintings of Paul Delvaux and Georges de Chirico, contemporaries who certainly influenced Dali. The landscape is the Ampurdan plain as it appears in so many of Dali's paintings, with its long perspectives and surrounding hills. As so often in his work, the title serves to undermine the content of the picture itself, making it irrational. Dali pursued a similar strategy with regard to framing, insisting on putting pictures that were often quite small into ornate, heavy, old-fashioned frames that might initially deceive the spectator into believing that the subject would be treated in an equally traditional style.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat is special about exhibition and gallery posters is that they are an affordable way of getting good, unique art on the walls, as although it is not an artists original, neither is it something that has been mass reproduced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBecause of the age of these posters, there are areas of wear and tear, particularly on the edges. I have done my best to take photos where they are torn. The good news is that when framed, the tears press up well against glass, and edges can be hidden by mats. Any wear picked up from years are part of the charm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese posters are sent as unframed. They are delivered in a cardboard tube for protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSee the FAQ for more information on shipping, tracking and insurance options.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lampposted","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57206139945347,"sku":"L8CQ4","price":150.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0986\/8538\/7139\/files\/il_fullxfull.5328734757_chfv.jpg?v=1768959853","url":"https:\/\/lampposted.com\/products\/1994-salvadore-dali-poster-the-75268","provider":"Lampposted","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
