Mauvaise année c. 1937

"Mauvaise Année" (Bad Year) is a work by Salvador Dalí, created around 1937. It's a surrealist piece characterized by the artist's signature style of dreamlike imagery and distorted figures. The painting features a grotesque, snarling lion head juxtaposed with the face of a woman, her features warped and elongated. A smaller, almost childlike figure, with a prominent mustache, is nestled within the larger figure, adding another layer of disorientation and unease to the composition. This work embodies the anxieties and surrealism of Dalí's art, captivating viewers with its unsettling imagery and unsettling dream-like visions.
