Dali's The Art of Love portfolio was created in 1978 to accompany the songs of the same name written by Ovid almost 2000 years earlier. Illustrated with brilliant color and rich detail, these images portray Ovid's lessons on love, seduction and intrigue. The illustrations also emphasize Dali's sensuality, both in subject matter and style, as well as his customary attention to the feminine, a theme that played a large part in the artist's creative process. This portfolio, made up of etchings, lithographs, and woodcut engravings, is one of Salvador Dali's most rare books. Furthermore, the Art of Love book seen at the William Bennett Gallery is one of only nine Artist's Proofs in the world, thus providing an extraordinary viewing experience.
