Salvador Dalì Surrealist Modern Signed Work on Paper

Salvador Dalì Surrealist Modern Signed Work on Paper

By Salvador Dalí­

Located in Roma, IT

This important artwork is an original color lithograph by Salvador Dalí titled "Don José" from his famous Carmensuite. Created in 1968, this specific impression is a rare "Artist's proof" designated by the pencil inscription "artist proof" in the lower-left margin. This artwork, never before on the market, comes from an important Italian private collection. Our company has been present on this platform for many years, with more than 100 sales made and just as many excellent reviews received that you can under our Furniture account. The artwork is also protected by glass This artwork, upon request, is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by an official Expert in Italian furniture for the Chamber of Commerce of Rome and for the Rome Civil Courts. The composition It is characterised by a highly dynamic and contrasting color scheme relies on saturated, expressive reds in the lower-left corner balanced by deep, brooding blues and earthy ochres/sanguine tones making up the central figure. The background features muted, atmospheric gray and green washes to simulate a turbulent, twilight sky. The composition uses an asymmetrical, vertical orientation dominated by a colossal, central figure towering over a fragmented architectural landscape. The perspective is intentionally distorted to emphasize a dreamlike, theatrical space. In this wonderful artwork are presents many surrealist iconography elements. On the the central figure is represented Don José; the character's form is severely elongated and spindly, bearing hallmarks of Dalí’s fascination with gaunt, skeletal figures. The anatomy transitions from fluid gestural lines to an almost root-like structure near the base. Atop the figure's head sits a prominent, black geometric cage resembling a street lantern or polyhedral framework. This structure acts as a visual anchor and source of dramatic light rays radiating downwards. To the right, a detailed architectural elements, surrealist cathedral/church façade rises with a crucifix, complete with an intricate, wheel-like window resembling an anatomical eye...

1955 Original Poster by La Motta Rio de Janeiro Eucharistic Congress
1955 Original Poster by La Motta Rio de Janeiro Eucharistic Congress

1955 Original Poster by La Motta Rio de Janeiro Eucharistic Congress

By Paolo La Motta

Located in PARIS, FR

Created by La Motta in 1955, this original poster was commissioned for the 36th International Eucharistic Congress in Rio de Janeiro. Held from July 17 to 24, the congress was an important international Catholic gathering organized around the theme of Christ the Redeemer and his Eucharistic kingdom. The composition places Rio’s celebrated statue of Christ the Redeemer at the center of an expansive celestial vision. With his arms extended, Christ forms the upper section of a monumental cross rendered in the green and yellow colors associated with Brazil. Below, he stands upon a globe centered on South America, where a radiant star indicates the location of Rio de Janeiro. A deep blue background and surrounding constellation of stars give the poster a sense of spiritual grandeur. The restrained palette of blue, green, yellow and ivory combines religious symbolism with the visual identity of Brazil, while the bold typography at the bottom clearly announces the congress and its dates. Signed La Motta in the lower right, the design is characteristic of mid-century event posters, using simplified forms and carefully balanced geometry to communicate a powerful message from a distance. The poster was printed by Rebizzi in São Paulo. This original 1955 poster is an evocative document of Brazilian religious and cultural history. Its striking combination of Christ the Redeemer, cartographic imagery and modern graphic design makes it particularly appealing to collectors of Brazilian posters...

Vintage Lithographs and Other Prints for Sale on 1stDibs

Buying art and design is one thing. Collecting it is quite another. Whether you’re looking to add a focal point to your living room or you’re introducing a new acquisition to an already thriving collection of art, the range of vintage lithographs and other fine art prints on 1stDibs is waiting for you.  

The lithographic process begins by drawing on or painting on a stone surface with an oil-based substance, such as a greasy crayon or tusche (an oily wash). The stone is then covered with water, which is repelled by the oily areas. Oil-based ink is then applied to the wet stone, adhering only to the oily image. The stone is then covered with a sheet of paper and run through a press. 

Lithographs tend to be more painterly than other printing techniques such as woodcut printmaking and drypoint, and many postwar and contemporary painters have collaborated with lithographic workshops to push their practices in new directions. The collection of vintage lithographs on 1stDibs includes works by Marc Chagall, Joan Miró, Peter Max, Jasper Johns and other artists.

Groundbreaking print studios like Gemini began to crop up in the mid-20th century. These included Tamarind, first founded as a lithography shop in Los Angeles; ULAE on New York’s Long Island; and Crown Point Press in San Francisco. The timing was due to the fact that many artists had developed a taste for printmaking during the Great Depression via the Works Progress Administration (WPA), which opened print shops for unemployed artists to help create useful and uplifting messages that could be widely disseminated.
