Salvador Dalí's "Twelve Tribes of Israel" is a series of twelve gouache paintings, each representing a different tribe, imbued with his signature surrealist symbolism. Created in 1967, the works blend biblical narratives with Dalí's personal iconography, featuring melting clocks, distorted figures, and dreamlike landscapes. Each painting is a vibrant and enigmatic interpretation of the tribal attributes, often incorporating historical and Kabbalistic references, resulting in a visually arresting and deeply personal exploration of Jewish heritage through the lens of Dalí's unique artistic vision.
    Salvador Dalí's "Frontispiece" is a quintessential example of his surrealist vision, serving as an introduction to the bizarre and dreamlike world he creates. Typically, a Dalí frontispiece is a detailed etching or lithograph that encapsulates the themes and motifs found within the accompanying text or portfolio. It often features melting clocks, distorted figures, and paradoxical landscapes, all rendered with meticulous detail and a sense of hallucinatory clarity. These frontispieces act as portals, inviting the viewer to delve into the depths of Dalí's subconscious and explore the irrational logic of his artistic universe.
