Description
Le Spectre du Sex Appeal is a lithograph based on the original 1934 oil on wood panel of the same name by Salvador Dali. This piece is considered an ?after? as the lithograph was not created by Dali himself. Because this was not created by Salvador Dali, no certificate of authenticity will be provided.

1934 Le Spectre du Sex Appeal
Dal? exhibited the original oil painting in 1934, in the Jacques Bonjean Gallery in Paris, and later in the Julien Levy Gallery in New York, and introduces this fragment of text in both catalogues: " Instant photo in colours at hand subconscious, surrealist, extravagant, paranoiac, hypnagogic, extra-pictorial, phenomenal, superabundant, super-fine images, etc...of concrete irrationality...". On the right-hand side, we see Dal? as a child, dressed as a sailor, looking at an enormous monster, soft and hard at the same time, which for the artist symbolized sexuality, all of it framed by a hyper-realist Cap de Creus. This work is the concrete definition of a difficult-to-perceive feeling: the monster of sexuality, as precise as the landscape of his childhood, the rocks of Cap de Creus. We should emphasize the imposing presence of the crutches, to Dal? a symbol of death and resurrection.
