Marc Lacroix - Dali en la Intimidad

MARC LACROIX (1927–2007)
Salvador Dalí – Portraits of Intimacy
5 original black-and-white photographic proofs

Set of three original photographic proofs created by the French photographer Marc Lacroix, close collaborator and personal friend of Salvador Dalí and Gala since the early 1970s. The images show the artist in the intimacy of Portlligat, far from official portraits and with the spontaneity that characterizes Lacroix's photographic work.

The present photographs correspond to the extraordinary documentary work developed by Marc Lacroix during the seventies, from which would later emerge numerous international exhibitions and the renowned catalog “Dalí, Lacroix, Gala. The Privilege of Intimacy,” published in 2000. (Instituto Cervantes)

They are positive photographic proofs printed by the photographer himself in the 1970s, printed on Ilford paper of approximately 30 × 40 cm, preserving all the strength and tonal quality of the era's analogue prints.

The close relationship between Marc Lacroix and Salvador Dalí gave rise to one of the most important photographic testimonies on the final years of the surrealist master. From 1970, Lacroix documented both daily life and numerous artistic projects of Dalí, becoming one of his reference photographers. (Andrew Weiss Gallery)
