Salvador Dali - Nude at the Window - Original Handsigned Lithograph Dimensions: 76.5 x 57 cm 1970 Signed in pencil and numbered Edition : /CXX References : Field 70-8 Salvador Dali Salvador Dali was born as the son of a prestigious notary in the small town of Figueras in Northern Spain. His talent as an artist showed at an early age and Salvador Felipe Jacinto Dali received his first drawing lessons when he was ten years old. His art teachers were a then well known Spanish impressionist painter, Ramon Pichot and later an art professor at the Municipal Drawing School. In 1923 his father bought his son his first printing press. Dali began to study art at the Royal Academy of Art in Madrid. He was expelled twice and never took the final examinations. His opinion was that he was more qualified than those who should have examined him. In 1928 Dali went to Paris where he met the Spanish painters Pablo Picasso and Joan Miro. He established himself as the principal figure of a group of surrealist artists grouped around Andre Breton, who was something like the theoretical "schoolmaster" of surrealism. Years later Breton turned away from Dali accusing him of support of fascism, excessive self-presentation and financial greediness. By 1929 Dali had found his personal style that should make him famous the world of the unconscious that is recalled during our dreams. The surrealist theory is based on the theories of the psychologist Dr. Sigmund Freud. Recurring images of burning giraffes and melting watches...

A Grand Prix De Rome Submission Circa 1906. “Académie D’Homme” Nude Throwing An Arrow. Period Print (Lithograph or Heliogravure). Image size 19 inches x 12.2 inches ( 48cm x 31cm ). Frame size 22 inches x 15.4 inches ( 56cm x 39cm ). Available for sale; this antique reproductive plate (usually a lithograph or heliogravure) after the original competition drawing is annotated Premier Grand Prix De Rome and is dated in the margin 1906. The print is presented and supplied in a sympathetic contemporary wooden frame (which is shown in these photographs) and behind glass. This antique print is in good material condition with age toning to the paper along with a scattering of aged blemishes. It is supplied ready to hang and display. The print carries a dedication lower right in the margin. An incomplete (partial) ink stamp in the lower left hand corner makes reference to an Anvers (Antwerp) institution. This finely executed early 20th-century figure print of a drawing is of the Académie d’Homme genre (traditional academic nude study). It depicts a nude male figure in dynamic contrapposto, shown mid-action as he prepares to throw an arrow. The pose combines classical balance with controlled movement, reflecting the rigorous standards of French academic training at the turn of the century. The image is a period print, likely produced as a lithograph or heliogravure, after an original competition drawing. It is annotated “Premier Grand Prix de Rome” and dated 1906 in the margin, indicating that the original of this work was a submission to the prestigious Prix de Rome competition, the highest accolade for academic artists in France. Such works were commonly reproduced for study, reference and institutional circulation and it is likely that this reproduction was made in the same year, or shortly afterwards. Rendered with careful anatomical precision, the figure demonstrates a deep understanding of musculature, proportion and weight distribution, hallmarks of École des Beaux-Arts instruction. The neutral background focuses attention entirely on the human form, emphasising clarity of line and sculptural modelling. This circa 1906 academic male nude print...
