Birdman
Birdman
Bronze, blue patina, height: 27 cm, limited edition of 350 copies, signed.
The motif of the bird-man originates from antiquity, where Horus, with his falcon's head, was worshipped in Egypt. In his sculpture, Dalí combines the body of a human with the head of a heron, emphasizing the elegance of the form with flowing lines and drapery. For the body, he drew inspiration from the statue of Antinous (1543) in the Belvedere Gardens in Rome. In doing so, he reveals his vision of metamorphosis and his fascination with birds and their anatomy.

SPAIN, 1904 - 1989
Salvador Dalí
Salvador Dalí, born in Figueras in 1904, is considered one of the leading minds of surrealism and one of the most famous artists of the 20th century. Around 1929 he found his own style, which explored the world of the unconscious and dreams. With melting clocks and burning giraffes, he created iconic images that show his technical skills in an old-masterly style. Common themes in Dalí's works are intoxication, fever and religion, with his wife Gala often playing a central role. After an eventful life that took him from Spain to the USA and back to Europe, Dalí died in 1989, leaving a lasting legacy in the art world.
