"The Crime" by Salvador Dali Hand signed in 1969 25 5/8" x 19 5/8" on archival paper. We provide the best certificates of authenticity and appraisal in the Dali market. Condition: Excellent Unframed The Marquis de Sade spent his life under lock and key. Until 1794 he was jailed for his actions, after 1802 he was imprisoned for his writings. Marquis de Sade Quote: So long as the laws remain such as they are today, employ some discretion: loud opinion forces us to do so; but in privacy and silence let us compensate ourselves for that cruel chastity we are obliged to display in public. While the image has more to do with the story titled "Justine", it is a fitting title for a character like Sade. Another play titled: "The Crimes of Love" Oxford University Press might also have influenced Dali as he created this work.
