Professionally framed and mounted. Condition of this piece is excellent. The original painting is a 77 x 73 cms (30 x 29 ins) work on paper, pulling together a range of mediums. The expressive brushstrokes are a blend of oil paint, gouache, watercolour and ink. It is one of many anamorphic works created by Dali; a technique of illusion which dates as far back as Leonardo Da Vinci. Anamorphosis transforms the artwork, often using a mirrored cylinder or distorted angle to reveal a hidden image. 'Le Nu' translates from French to 'the nude'. The female nude was a key theme for Dali throughout his artistic career, seen in his post-impressionist paintings to his surrealist compositions, and everything in-between. H: 94cm W: 87cm D: 4cm
