The Surrealist Bullfight
Inspired from Picasso’s “Tauromachie”, these etchings epitomize Dali’s style with their burlesque touches. Bishops seen blessing macabre parades, a bull ends up in a grand piano, while a hallucinogenic matador, like a sad clown, gazes at the audience. Also, parrots and fish turn into toreadors, while a burning giraffe, a lion and a statue stand in the arena. Lastly, a huge monster coming out of a television set devours the entire scene.
