Les Caprices des Goya:

Magnificently illustrated with 80 drypoint etchings by Salvador Dalí, with each etching signed and numbered by Dalí in pencil. 

 

“Instead of stubbornly attempting to use surrealism for purposes of subversion, it is necessary to try to make of surrealism something as solid, complete and classic as the works of museums.” -Dalí
