Moving beyond the traditional seven sins, laden with Catholic guilt,  Dalí famously added an eighth, The Dalinian, to critique the vanity of empty intellectualism. Each historically traditional mortal vice is displayed as grotesque interpretations of religious transgression through amorphic figures with visceral supporting imagery featuring Dali’s telltale styling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis portfolio is executed by the \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: normal;\"\u003eRigal workshop\u003c\/strong\u003e in the demanding medium of sugar-lift \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: normal;\"\u003ecolor aquatint\u003c\/strong\u003e, utilizing traditional \u003cstrong style=\"font-weight: normal;\"\u003eetching\u003c\/strong\u003e while incorporating the nuance and fluidity of aquatint.  Printed in a relatively small limited edition of 125 and published by Jean Schneider, Basel, these works are celebrated for their deep tonal contrast and the tactile quality of the subtleness of the aquatint.
