"Lincoln In Dalivision," an original bronze edition bas relief with precious metal patina by Salvador Dalí, is a piece for the true collector. One of Dalí's most iconic images, Lincoln in Dalivision, also known as "Lincoln in Galavision," was based on Dalí's painting "Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at a distance of 20 meters is transformed into the portrait of Abraham Lincoln (Homage to Rothko)." This was one of the first examples of the use of photomosaic or photographic mosaic by a recognized artist. This artistic approach has been used in the decades since by countless artists. Leon Harmon published the first work on photomosaic concepts, "The Recognition of Faces," in Scientific American in 1973. (See Image Bank Above) In the article, Abraham Lincoln's portrait from the US five-dollar bill was featured, comprising a collection of solid gray mosaics. (A copy of the article is part of the included documentation.) That next year in 1974, Dalí began his first painting, later completing another version in 1976 that led to Lincoln in Dalivision. Gala was the artist's lifelong partner, his muse, and the only model he ever used. Certainly one could easily say there would be no Dalí without Gala. Not only did they have a romance that rivaled other art couples like Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo, or Jackson Pollock and Lee Krasner, but Gala was his manager, agent, and procurer of artistic contracts. Alluded to in the original title was the artist's use of color in the original oil paintings, in his own words an homage to Rothko. Mark Rothko was an American Abstract Expressionist painter, influenced by Paul Klee and Georges Rouault. His belief of using color, just colors and the relationship between them to evoke emotion into the viewer served as an inspiration for Dalí's use of simplified shapes, color graduations, and value relationships. The multiple blocks of colors in varying progression of hues ending in a dark perimeter is evocative of the meditative "color field" paintings of Rothko. Dali spent many years living between Spain and the US and considered the US his second home. In the US, he spent his time almost exclusively in New York, most notably at the St. Regis Hotel. As well as an homage to an American painter, Lincoln in Dalivision is also an homage to America, created in America in his room at the St. Regis (See Image Bank Above), in the country that gave him refuge during the turmoil of Civil and World War in Europe. Dalí's ability to capture emotion in its simplest form is evident in this exceptionally executed work, demonstrating "a fascination with perception and the mystery of identity." "Dalí layers multiple optical scales to create two paintings in one. By squinting slightly and so flattening the depth of field, the portrait of Lincoln snaps into view displacing the figure of Gala. Once seen, the image appears at each return." This sculpture would make a great addition to an art collection and enhance most any home, perfect for those who have an affinity for Dalí's works, surrealism, nudes, American History, or figurative art. Not so easily seen from the images is the unique three-dimensionality of the work, with the components of the image projecting out at the viewer. This is a highly collectible work. Forty-one years after it was produced, it is rare to find Dalí bas reliefs...
