Signed Framed Salvador Dali Limited Edition Ecuyere Aquatint Etching With Gold

Excellent

An aquatint etching with gold added on arches by the famous surrealist Salvador Dali (Spanish 1904 - 1989) entitled "Ecuyere" created in 1965 from his Le Cirque Suite. This piece is signed by the artist in pencil, lower right and numbered in pencil, lower left. Published by Jean Schneider, Basel & Berggruen, Paris.

Salvador Dali was born in May 11, 1904 in the small agricultural town of Figueres, Spain. DalÃ� became a leader of the surrealist movement. His painting, The Persistence of Memory, with the soft or melting watches is still one of the best-known surrealist works. But as the war approached, the apolitical DalÃ� clashed with the surrealists and was "expelled" from the surrealist group during a "trial" in 1934. He did however, exhibit works in international surrealist exhibitions throughout the decade but by 1940, DalÃ� was moving into a new style that eventually became known as his "classic" period, demonstrating a preoccupation with science and religion. As an artist, Salvador DalÃ� was not limited to a particular style or media. The body of his work, from early impressionist paintings through his transitional surrealist works, and into his classical period, reveals a constantly growing and evolving artist. DalÃ� worked in all media, leaving behind a wealth of oils, watercolors, drawings, graphics, and sculptures, jewels and objects of all descriptions. In 1974, DalÃ� opened the Teatro Museo in Figueres, Spain. This was followed by retrospectives in Paris and London at the end of the decade. After the death of his wife, Gala, in 1982, DalÃ�'s health began to fail. It deteriorated further after he was burned in a fire in his home in Pubol in 1984. Two years later, a pace-maker was implanted. Much of this part of his life was spent in seclusion, first in Pubol and later in his apartments at Torre Galatea, adjacent to the Teatro Museo. Salvador DalÃ� died on January 23, 1989 in Figueres from heart failure with respiratory complications.

Signed Ltd Ed Pablo Picasso Nude 156 Series Etching

Excellent

Signed Limited edition Pablo Picasso etching entitled "Nudes" from the 156 Series Reference Number 11.3.71 is studio signed as issued, lower right and numbered 42 of 50, lower left.

Considered one of the greatest and most well known artists of the twentieth century, Picasso left his mark on a variety of styles and techniques. Born the son of an academic painter, Picasso began drawing at an early age and continually perfected this aspect of his craft throughout his career. One of the artist's most frequently depicted subject matters was the nude figure.

As one of the founding members of the Cubist movement, Picasso rendered figures broken up, analyzed, and re-assembled in an abstracted form. Picasso completed the 156 Series between 1970-1972 at the end of his life, exhibiting more freedom with his figures in a sensually expressive manner while still utilizing many elements of cubism re-invented in new ways. Using few lines in a monochromatic tone, Picasso showcases his skill as a draftsman and his interest and the inspiration found with the nude female figure.
