Tehran, Oct 17, 2011: A painting created by Spanish surrealist painter Salvador Dali, which was kept in the international treasure-trove of the Jahan-Nama Museum is now on display for the first time.
The Jahan-Nama Museum is displaying the artwork entitled “Anarcardium Recordans†(Begonia, Le Coeur) from Flora Dalinae†during autumn.
Created in 1968, the painting features a human heart in the middle of a tree in which vine stems resemble veins. It is a photolithograph with an original engraving, signed and numbered in pencil.
Salvador Dali (1904 –1989) was a prominent Spanish Catalan surrealist painter born in Figueres. Dali was a skilled draftsman, best known for the striking and bizarre images in his surrealist work. His technique of painting is often attributed to the influence of Renaissance masters.
The Jahan-Nama museum, which is located at the Niavaran Cultural Historical Complex, discloses the museum+s never-before-seen treasures periodically for visitors.
The collection consists of artworks granted or purchased during the Pahlavi dynasty and are categorized on the basis of variety, exquisiteness and time of creation.
Salvador Dali+s best-known work, “The Persistence of Memoryâ€, was completed in 1931. Dali+s expansive artistic repertoire includes film, sculpture, and photography, in collaboration with a range of artists in a variety of media.
