Editing Salvador Dalí (section)

=== Graphic arts ===
Dalí worked extensively in the graphic arts, producing many drawings, etchings, and lithographs. Among the most notable of these works are forty etchings for an edition of Lautréamont's ''The Songs of Maldoror'' (1933) and eighty drypoint reworkings of Goya's ''Caprichos'' (1973–77).<ref>Gibson, Ian (1997), pp. 308–13, 567</ref> From the 1960s, however, Dalí would often sell the rights to images but not be involved in the print production itself. In addition, a large number of fakes were produced in the 1980s and 1990s, thus further confusing the Dalí print market.<ref name="Forde_170">Forde, Kevin (2011).

Book illustrations were an important part of Dalí's work throughout his career. His first book illustration was for the 1924 publication of the Catalan poem ''{{Ill|Les bruixes de Llers|ca}}'' ("The Witches of Liers") by his friend and schoolmate, poet [[Carles Fages de Climent]].<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.abebooks.fr/bruixes-Llers-Fages-Climent-Carles-Ilustra/22923917071/bd| title = ''Les bruixes de Llers'', Fages de Climent, Carles.
