Editor’s Note

Part of Salvador Dalí's "Visions Surrealiste" Tarot portfolio from 1976, this lithograph on Arches paper depicts a clock-faced figure in monk's robes floating above a roiling storm cloud, lantern in hand, butterflies orbiting the light. Dalí obsessively read Freud as a teenager, but his later work, with its turn toward mysticism, religion, and the Tarot, drew on the symbolic territory Jung had spent his career mapping. The Hermit, a figure associated with the search for truth, is a natural subject for an artist who spent a lifetime navigating the surreal space between dreams and waking life. Signed and numbered in pencil from an edition of 150.
