Salvador Dalí­
Judah (Twelve Tribes of Israel)

1973

About the Item

Salvador Dalí is commonly regarded as one of the greatest Surrealist artists, whose personality was often displayed on his magnificent works of art. He practiced sculpting, advertising, printmaking, fashion, filmmaking, and more Dalí’s mischievousness and peculiar personality contributed to his status of an international celebrity, but he is better-known for his most distinct attribute: his mastery of art. Dalí’s significance and talent ranks him among the most versatile and prolific artists of the 20th century. “Judah” is part of a religion-based series of prints that depict the “Twelves Tribes of Israel”. Each etching represents one of the tribes. Levi, Zebulon, Joseph, and more are included in this series. The Twelve Tribes of Israel, in the Bible, are the Hebrew tribes which were named after sons or grandsons of Jacob. His name was later changed to Israel, and the Hebrew people became known as Israelites. The Tribe of Judah consisted of descendants of Judah, who was the fourth son of Jacob. The lion is the symbol of the Tribe of Judah and is often represented in religious art. “Judah” is an example of how Dalí’s work was influenced by religious themes. Depicted here is a man with long hair peeking through his hat, a staff, and is wearing a bright red cape. This man is presumably Judah, who is overlooking the pair of gigantic lions and two small human figures. The figures are in a wide open field with the sun blazing down upon them. A large white flag emerges in the distance, with a cityscape in the horizon further behind it. The buildings in the city seem blurry and undefined as they are too far away to be seen in any details. There is a giant wall separating the flag from the city, most likely used to keep intruders out. Birds can be seen flying high among the clouds. “Judah” is a 14.75 x 19.5- inch hand-signed etching with color stencil created in 1973. Gallery Price

  • Central Panel, from: Triptych 1974-1977
    By Francis Bacon
    Located in London, GB
    FRANCIS BACON 1909-1992 Dublin 1909-1992 Madrid (Irish/British) Title: Central Panel, from: Triptych 1974-1977, 1981 Technique: Original Hand Signed and Numbered Etching and Aquatint in Colours on Wove Paper Paper size: 64.8 x 50 cm. / 25.5 x 19.7 in. Image size: 38.8 x 29.5 cm. / 19.3 x 11.5 in. Additional Information: This etching and aquatint in colours is hand signed in pencil by the artist "Francis Bacon" in the lower right margin. It is also hand numbered in pencil from the edition of 99, in the lower left margin. The work was printed in a limited edition of 99 signed and numbered impressions with an additional 15 Hors Commerce [out of trade] impressions and 15 artist’s proofs. It was printed and published by Polígrafa, Barcelona in 1981. It is based on the painting of the same title. Note: Tryptic 1974-1977 is one of Bacon's finest triptychs. It was painted by Bacon between May and June 1974 and was made in response to the tragic death of his lover George Dyer in 1971. It was the last work the artist made before a major retrospective of his work held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York in 1974. The exhibition formed the culmination of this important survey of Bacon's career from the late 1960s onwards and was immediately recognised as both a major landmark and also perhaps a turning point in Bacon's career. From 1971, Francis Bacon had been preoccupied with Dyer and the tragic manner of his suicide. Triptych 1974-77 also borrows several elements from the three earlier so-called 'Black' triptychs (In memory of George Dyer, 1971, Triptych August 1972 and Triptych May-June 1973). In each of these great three-panel paintings, the figure of Dyer is presented on the threshold of entering a dark void, either in the form of his hotel room, or silhouetted against a sequence of black rectangles. At the bottom of this central panel on a pale blue, purple and black curved continuation of this arena-like circle, there originally appeared a bizarre prone and bespectacled slug-like figure. Based on one of Edward Muybridge...
