About Lobster Telephone
Created in 1936, Lobster Telephone is a playful and iconic Surrealist object by Salvador Dalí. This whimsical combination of a lobster and a telephone reflects Dalí’s fascination with unexpected juxtapositions and absurdity.
A symbol of Surrealism, the piece challenges the ordinary by turning everyday objects into extraordinary art.
About Salvador Dalí
Salvador Dalí (born May 11, 1904, Figueres, Spain—died January 23, 1989, Figueres) was a Spanish Surrealist painter and printmaker, influential for his explorations of subconscious imagery. Major themes in his work include dreams, the subconscious, sexuality, religion, science and his closest personal relationships. To the dismay of those who held his work in high regard, and to the irritation of his critics, his eccentric and ostentatious public behavior often drew more attention than his artwork.
