Description: Salvador Dali (Spanish, 1904-1989)Triumphant Elephant Elephants were used by Dalí as a symbol of the future. A golden angel lands on the elephant's saddle trumpeting the promise of a future with great fortune. Dalí subverts the idea of the elephant being heavy and strong, by giving it impossibly long legs. It is an example of pure Daliesque whimsy, a fantastic image created by juxtaposing the immense weight with the fragility of the thin joints. There is a sense of otherworldliness as Dalí’s elephants defy the laws of nature moving effortlessly, almost gracefully. bronze lost wax process with green patina, brass, marble base, marked on bronze base, 117/350, includes original documentation from Cha Cha Gallery, Aspen, CO and Perseo SA Foundry measures approximately with marble base: 21 1/4" H x 8 1/4" D x 12 1/4" W Please note that this item may be shipped, however, buyer is responsible for making their own arrangements with a shipper due to the value of the work.
