Original Salvador Dali etching "Nu à la jarretière" (Nude with Garter) from Suite Les Hippies, hand-signed by Dali in pencil, hand-colored with watercolor and golden-silver highlights.
Nude with Garter or Nu à la Jarretière is one of 11 original drypoint etchings published between 1969 and 1970. Furthermore, this piece boasts beautiful details hand-colored with gold and soft colors.
In 1969, Pierre Argillet brought Dali many photographs of his trip to India. As a result, the artist used the images as the groundwork to create The Hippies Suite. Furthermore, this series is Dali’s interpretation of the “Love and Peace” culture of the 1960’s. The etchings reveal the spontaneous and consummate technique of the artist at the peak of his maturity. To illustrate the outlandish surrealist characters and situations, the artist pairs them with intricate whirls or golden halos.

Salvador Dalí was an icon of Surrealism, the 20th-century avant-garde movement that sought to release unconscious creative potential through art that featured dreamlike imagery. Dalí’s fantastical prints, paintings, sculptures, films, and writing helped cement the movement’s identity. Working off psychoanalytic ideas, Dalí rendered fantastical creatures and landscapes that could unsettle and awe. His 1931 canvas The Persistence of Memory is one of the most recognizable artworks of all time. Dalí exhibited widely in his lifetime, and his works belong in the collections of institutions including the Tate, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Art Institute of Chicago, among others. His work has fetched multimillions of dollars on the secondary market.
