Featuring 44 etchings that the Spanish Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí created in Paris in 1934, as well as a portrait of the artist by Carl Van Vechten from the same year, this exhibition presents the unique proof set for the complete series of etchings that make up the first edition of Les Chants de Maldoror – the infamous 1869 prose poem by Isidore Ducasse. Curated by Dr. Michael R. Taylor, chief curator and deputy director for art and education, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts.
