{"title":"Salvador Dalí","description":"\u003cp\u003eSalvador Dalí (1904–1989) was a Spanish artist of extraordinary imagination and flamboyant self invention, widely regarded as the most iconic figure of the Surrealist movement. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, his paintings conjure dreamlike worlds of impossible precision, blending meticulous draughtsmanship with deeply unsettling imagery drawn from the subconscious and his own elaborate personal mythology. His works, among them the celebrated melting watches of \u003cem\u003eThe Persistence of Memory\u003c\/em\u003e, remain amongst the most recognisable images in twentieth century art. Beyond the canvas he was a consummate showman who collaborated with filmmakers, fashion designers and advertisers, cultivating a public persona as outrageous as his art, and his influence on visual culture proved truly immeasurable.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/commons.wikimedia.org\/wiki\/File:Salvador_Dali_NYWTS.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Salvador Dali by Roger Higgins via Wikimedia Commons\" style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\" rel=\"noopener\"\u003ePhotograph\u003c\/a\u003e by Roger Higgins, World Telegram staff photographer, Public domain, via Wikimedia Commons\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"the-old-man-and-the-sea-set-of-6","title":"The Old Man and The Sea (Set of 6)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis collection of six etchings by Salvador Dalí, produced in 1974 draws inspiration from Ernest Hemingway's novella \"The Old Man and the Sea,\" which tells the story of Santiago, an elderly Cuban fisherman and his monumental endeavour to capture a colossal marlin.
