Throughout his career, Dalí turned repeatedly to the works of Shakespeare as inspiration. In 1968 and 1971 respectively, he produced the dazzling portfolios Much Ado About Shakespeare I and II. Across thirty-one exquisite drypoint engravings, Dalí explored the quirks and curiosities of Shakespeare's plays, from classics such as Romeo and Juliet and Macbeth to lesser-known works such as Troilus and Cressida and Timon of Athens. The timeless qualities of Shakespeare's insights into the human condition found a sympathetic collaborator in Dalí's unique surrealistic outlook, and these prints crackle with energy and wit.
In this image based upon The Taming of the Shrew, Dalí has depicted a cat and a dog in a hostile encounter, perhaps a reference to the play's examination of gender roles and relationship dynamics.
