In the sadomasochistic game suggested by Sacher-Masoch’s text, Salvador Dalí often portrayed himself as a man, a woman, or a hermaphrodite, either in pain or inflicting pain, in a setting where Eros and Thanatos laugh at each other. A major, powerful work, where Dali’s freedom of line and thought is best expressed. © The Argillet Collection.
