Description from the seller
SALVADOR DALÍ (1904–1989)
Le Tricorne (El sombrero de tres picos) — 1959
Special suite of seven black-and-white engravings. Luxury edition for bibliophiles.
Interesting set of seven prints belonging to the special black suite of Le Tricorne, one of Salvador Dalí's notable collaborations with Spanish literature, created to illustrate the famous tale by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón.
Published in 1959 by Éditions du Rocher of Monaco and the Nouveau Cercle Parisien du Livre de Paris, with a French translation by Michel Déon, this edition constitutes a magnificent example of Dalí's graphic production during the latter half of the 1950s.
The particular relevance of these prints lies in their belonging to the supplementary suite of 13 black engravings on copper plates, conceived to accompany the deluxe copies of a limited edition, in contrast with the 20 color woodcut illustrations in the main edition.
These compositions reveal a particularly interesting facet of Dalí's graphic language: direct, precise, and spontaneous drawing, developed through highly expressive lines and an extraordinary mastery of figurative representation.
Scenes of daily life, popular characters, animals, movement and theatricality combine with the artist's surrealist sensibility, offering a personal reinterpretation of the Andalusian universe described by Alarcón.
The prints are produced on high-quality paper for bibliophiles, with wide margins and visible watermarks, features of the careful editorial production of this work.
Characteristics:
* Artist: Salvador Dalí (1904–1989).
* Work: Le Tricorne (El sombrero de tres picos).
* Edition date: 1959.
* Technique: copper-engraved intaglio in black on paper.
* Edition: luxury supplementary suite.
* Compositions in the complete suite: 13.
* Dimensions of each sheet: approximately 32 × 25.5 cm.
* Publishers: Éditions du Rocher, Monaco, and Nouveau Cercle Parisien du Livre, Paris.
* General bibliographic references: Albert Field, The Official Catalog of the Graphic Works of Salvador Dalí, reference 59-1; Michler-Löpsinger, references 1018–1037.
An attractive selection of Salvador Dalí's graphic production, especially interesting for belonging to the supplementary black suites reserved for the bibliophile editions of Le Tricorne.
Provenance: collection linked to Enrique Sabater
