Between 1968 and 1972, Salvador Dalí produced three suites of botanical prints— “Flora Dalínae (FlorDalí),” “FlorDalí (Les Fruits),” and “Florals (Surrealist Flower).” Rarely exhibited, these suites see Dalí transforming fruits and flowers into fantastical surrealist creations. In some of them, he painted over botanical illustrations by the artists Pierre-Antoine Poiteau and Pierre-Joseph Redouté, but his signatures remain—ants, flies, melting clocks. Those who know Dalí’s work well insist that his approach was always rooted in nature, specifically in the Spanish landscape. He once described the coast of Cadaqués as a “geological delirium,” and begonias and roses populate many of his canvases. This exhibition also includes botanical imagery that appears in other work by the artist. —Elena Clavarino
