But the universal genius was also a gifted graphic artist, writer, stage designer and sculptor. The year was 1956, when Dalí completed a sculpture that expressed all his creative power. Dalí was probably inspired by another important artist - Albrecht Dürer. As is known, in 1515 he had made a woodcut depicting a rhinoceros only on the basis of a description, since he had never seen the unusual animal himself.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"8aua4kk4lthbsnxxcp3i\" id=\"viewer-f0vd5\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"jawrd\"\u003eAlthough coming from two different eras, Dalí and Dürer would probably have gotten along well. After all, both artists went into great detail with their works. However, Dalí would not be Dalí if he had not added a crown to his work, with a wink and a slight twirl to the famous beard. In Dalí's case, however, the crown mutates into a sea urchin. By arranging the rhinoceros with a sea urchin, Dalí succeeds in elevating the object of representation to a new level. Salvador Dalí, who liked to describe his associative and dream worlds as a paranoiac-critical method, thus alienates Dürer's depiction of the animal in a surrealistic way. Dalí's rhinoceros sculpture was created in 1954 as a large-format unique piece. The artist never realized an edition of this sculpture throughout his life. Dalí would certainly have been pleased that the original has been on display in the Marbella marina since 2004.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"8aua4kk4lthbsnxxcp3i\" id=\"viewer-8bpca\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"jawrd\"\u003eFor those who would like to have the famous rhinoceros a few sizes smaller in their home showcase, there is an opportunity. Robert Descharnes, owner of the exploitation rights to Dalí's sculptures, authorized the casting of the small sculpture \"Rhinocéros\" in 1997, which is aimed at collectors. In the famous art foundry Airaindor-Valsuani, about 30 kilometers south of Paris, these and other bronze sculptures by Dalí. The unique piece in the marina of Marbella, however, in its monumental size exerts its own charm on the viewer. Quite in the spirit of the eccentric artist. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff0000;\"\u003eTo see more Salvador Dali sculptures in our collection click\u003c\/span\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hickmet.myshopify.com\/collections\/limited-editions\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DALI, SALVADOR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47773513810156,"sku":"9641","price":4450.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2614\/8594\/files\/Dali_Carmen_Castanets.jpg?v=1783416530","url":"https:\/\/hickmet.com\/products\/salvador-dali-carmen-with-castanets-9641_01","provider":"Hickmet Fine Arts","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
