Salvador Dali "Manto" Wood Engraving Divine Comedy
Item Details
A wood engraving after a work titled Manto by Surrealist Salvador Dali (1904-1989).

It is a dramatic exaggerated depiction of the self absorbed narcissist. She wears a headdress and spreads her arms imperiously never looking where she moves. Her derriere is supported by a crutch because it has grown beyond her control as have other attributes. It is truly visually engaging. It is signed in plate, matted under glass and set in a metal frame. It includes a COA from Park West Galleries, and has a wire for hanging on the back.
