Federico Castellon Prints and Multiples
American, 1914-1971
Federico Castellón (1914-1971) was a Spanish-American artist known for his distinctive style that blended surrealism and realism. Born on the island of Almeria, Spain, he moved to the United States with his family at the age of seven. His artistic talent was evident from a young age, and he received a scholarship to study at the New York School of Fine and Applied Art when he was just 15.
Castellón's work is characterized by a dreamlike quality, often incorporating elements of fantasy and a strong narrative sense. His early exposure to both Spanish and American cultures profoundly influenced his artistic vision, blending European surrealism with American realism to create a unique visual language.
He was particularly renowned for his lithographs, etchings, and illustrations. His illustrations for Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque of the Red Death" and other literary works are highly regarded for their intricate detail and haunting imagery.
In addition to his printmaking and illustration work, Castellón was also a skilled painter and muralist. His paintings often featured surreal, dream-like scenes with a focus on human figures, and his murals are noted for their dynamic composition and rich symbolism.
Throughout his career, Castellón received numerous awards and honors, and his work was exhibited widely in the United States and Europe. His legacy continues to influence artists and is recognized in the art world for its unique blend of surrealism and realism, along with a profound narrative quality that speaks to the human condition.to

Construction d'un Temple en Ruine - Plate n.3 - Etching by Paul Delvaux - 1973
By Paul Delvaux
Located in Roma, IT
Construction d’un temple – Plate n. 3 is a b/w original etching realized in 1973 (as reported on plate on the lower right margin) by Paul Delvaux.
From the collection “ Construction d’un temple en ruine à la déesse Vanadé ”, this wonderful original print came into being from the collaboration of four years between the French author and a member of the Nouveau-Roman , Alain Robbe-Grillet (1922-2008), and the Belgian artist Paul Delvaux (1897-1994). At first, Robbe-Grillet wrote a text, to which Delvaux then replied with a wonderful engraving; Robbe-Grillet then responded with a second text. This is how the building blocks of this beautiful book came together: it was constructed like a temple.
The book was printed in an edition of 187 copies, of which only 40 contain the illustrations by Paul Delvaux . Our copy is unnumbered and printed on “Arches” ivory colored paper with the Bateau Lavoir watermark (on the lower right corner), and “Richard Bas ” watermark (on the lower left margin).
This beautiful artwork, representing an enigmatic composition with seven women realized like ancient Greek marble...
