Size 10 1/4 x 13 This is a woodblock print of Salvador Dali's "The Centaur". It is signed in the plate, not a personally signed copy (though it appears to be an original signature to the untrained eye). Between 1951 and 1960, Dali created 101 watercolor drawings to interpret the Salvador Dali Divine Comedy, a poem by Dante Alighieri (1265-1321). These works have been reproduced using a wood engraving technique. Woodblock printing is a technique for printing text, images or patterns used widely throughout East Asia. Originating in China in antiquity as a method of printing on textiles and later paper. The earliest surviving examples from China date to before 220, and woodblock printing remained the most common East Asian method of printings books and other texts, as well as images, until the 19th century. Most European uses of the technique for printing images on paper are covered by the art term woodcut, except for the block-books produced mainly in the 15th century.
