Salvador Dali (Spanish, 1904-1989): Swan Reflecting Elephants. Offset lithograph on paper, signed in plate, numbered in pencil 27/300. Professionally framed. Verso shows document issued by Edward Weston.
During the 1930s Surrealism expanded outside of its radical avant-garde roots and transformed design, fashion, advertising and film. Surrealism's expansion also seeped into the photographs of Horst. Combining whimsical and surreal elements with his classical aesthetic Horst created tromp l'oeil still lifes and portraits, collaborating with Dalí and the designer Elsa Schiaparelli.

26 x 32 inches framed; 14 x 22 inches plate.

Private collection, New England.
