I’d only seen one or two of Salvador Dal\u00ed’s illustrations for Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland<\/em> before but you can see the complete (?) set here<\/a>. These date from 1969 when Dal\u00ed was well past his prime as an artist but they’re still worth a look to see how he tackled each chapter, using the skipping girl motif from earlier paintings as his Alice figure. The attraction of the Alice books for the Surrealists is no surprise; Max Ernst produced a rather enigmatic series of Alice-themed lithographs<\/a> while Andr\u00e9 Breton had earlier made Alice the “Siren of Stars” in the set of Surrealist playing cards<\/a> he designed in the 1940 (below). I’d imagine there are other connections I’ve missed; leave a comment if you know of any. (Thanks to Charity<\/a> for the tip!)<\/p>\n

For more Dal\u00ed, here’s something I neglected to link to a while ago, the legendary Dal\u00ed meets Disney short, Destino<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n
