Given lithograph depicts the fascination of Salvador Dali and the founder of psychoanalysis, Sigmund Freud. Dali was intrigued by Freud's theories, he had a great influence on the artist.
In particular, Salvador Dali felt a strong connection with Freud's psychoanalytic theory, which argues that human behavior arises from the interplay of three main parts of the mind: id, ego and superego.
Moses and Monotheism is a book written in 1939 by Sigmund Freud. The book consists of three essays and is an extension of Freud's work on psychoanalytic theory as a means of generating hypotheses about historical events. Freud hypothesizes that Moses was not a Hebrew, but was in fact born into ancient Egyptian nobility and was probably a follower of Akhenaten, an ancient Egyptian monotheist.
It shocked many of his readers because of Freud's suggestion that Moses was actually born an Egyptian, rather than merely raised as one.
Salvador Dali (1904-1989).
Salvador Dalí was an icon of Surrealism, the 20th-century avant-garde movement that sought to unleash unconscious creative potential through art with dreamlike imagery. Dalí's fantastical prints, paintings, sculptures, films and writings helped cement the movement's identity. Working from psychoanalytic ideas, Dalí created fantastical creatures and landscapes that could inspire unrest and awe. His 1931 canvas The Persistence of Memory is one of the most recognizable works of art of all time. Dalí exhibited widely during his lifetime and his works are held in collections including the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art and the Art Institute of Chicago. His work has fetched millions of dollars on the secondary market.
