In 1969, Pierre Argillet returned from India with many photographs, which Dalí used as groundwork for a series titled “Les Hippies,” his own interpretation of the “Love and Peace” years. The etchings reveal the superb, spontaneous, and consummate technique of the artist at the peak of his maturity. Outlandish, surrealist characters or situations appear through intricate whirls or golden halos. © The Argillet Collection.
