Salvador Dalí 'Giant' Artist's Proof Lithograph, 1965

This artwork is a notable lithograph on paper titled 'Giant' by the renowned Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí, dated 1965. The piece features a monochromatic, highly stylized male figure with hyper-exaggerated musculature, standing between two tall vertical pillars against a pale background. The anatomical details are rendered with rhythmic, almost skeletal lines, emphasizing a sense of raw power and surreal distortion typical of Dalí's mid-century work. At the bottom left, the piece is inscribed 'A.P.' indicating it is an Artist's Proof, which is generally more desirable for collectors than standard numbered editions. The center bears the title 'Giant' in pencil, and the bottom right features Dalí's distinctive signature with a crown motif and the date '1965'. The paper shows some minor signs of age-related toning, particularly near the edges of the matting. The monochromatic palette relies on deep blacks and various shades of charcoal gray. The work is professionally matted and framed under glass in a dark modern frame. The presence of the crown above the signature is a significant marking used by the artist during this period. The craftsmanship reflects the intricate line-work and tonal blending expected from a mid-60s Dalí lithographic production.
