Description
Tourism - Salvador Dali (1904-1989) - Alps. SNCF. 1970. Dreager printer. 60x37cm. Original poster. Draeger process. Condition A. Not canvas-backed.
The visual shown here is part of the "Butterflies" suite of 6 works used to illustrate posters promoting French regions. Dali's style was obviously surreal, but he didn't forget to serve his subject, tourism. In addition to skiing and winter sports, he chose to highlight Mont Blanc.
These posters are considered to be the last true artists' posters produced for the French railways.
