1930réf. 2476Paris: Éditions Surréalistes 1930. First edition. 72 pp. Original aluminum foil paper wrappers covered by red tissue paper title printed in black on the cover. Unbound sheets as this variant was issued. Photo-lithographed portrait of Gala heliogravure frontispiece retouched with a burin and six heliographic plates. A bit of wear to the extremities else a beautiful copy of a very fragile production. Of an edition of 204 copies one of the very few on Rodingold vellum in sheets justified on the colophon by the Service de Presse stamp. With Dalí’s autograph dedication on the half-title “Hommage de l’auteur. Salvador Dali.” Laid in is the prière d’insérer announcement with text by André Breton and Paul Eluard. This issue of La Femme Visible is unbound sheets laid into the foil and red wrappers. For these few copies Dali apparently often added a simple autograph homage. The book did not meet with great success as Eluard reveals in a letter to Gala on January 27 1931: “La Femme visible a une presse immonde. Pourquoi Dali n’a-t-il pas mis dans ses dédicaces le nom des gens. Comme cela on n’en parlera pas ou en mal.” La Femme Visible is receiving dreadful publicity. Why didn’t Dali put people’s names in his dedications That way people won’t talk about it or talk about it badly. Georges Sebbag in his bibliography of Editions Surréalistes does not mention these press copies nor the printing of the book in sheets. One of Dalí’s earliest books containing four texts: “L’Âne Pourri” “La Chèvre Sanitaire” “L’Amour” and “Le Grand Masturbateur.” In these writings inspired by Freudian and post-Freudian theories Dalí’s aim is to upset the frontiers between dream and reality and to break down the convictions that form the basis of so-called “bourgeois values.” He later spoke of it as “a spontaneous method of irrational knowledge based on the critical and systematic objectification of delirious associations and delirious interpretations.” References: Michler and Löpsinger.

2007réf. 216469Koln / London: Taschen 2007. Hardcover. VG. Light rubbing to slipcase and previous owners bookplates on front endpaper otherwise clean and unmarked. Quarto. Hardcover in illustrated slipcase. Black paper boards in illustrated jacket. 2 volumes 780 pages : illustrations some color ; 32 cm. Painter sculptor writer and filmmaker Salvador Dalí 1904-1989 was one of the century's greatest exhibitionists and eccentrics-and was rewarded with fierce controversy wherever he went. He was one of the first to apply the insights of Sigmund Freud and psychoanalysis to the art of painting approaching the subconscious with extraordinary sensitivity and imagination. This lively monograph presents the infamous Surrealist in full color and in his own words. His provocative imagery is all here from the soft watches to the notorious burning giraffe. A friend of the artist for over thirty years privy to the reality behind Dalí's public image author Robert Descharnes is uniquely qualified to analyze Dalí-both the man and the myth.

1946réf. 140948363Garden City NY: Doubleday & Comany Inc 1946. Signed Limited Edition. Near Fine. First edition thus limited issue #786 of 1000 copies. Signed and dated by the illustrator Salvador Dali on the limitation page at front. iv 442 1 pp illustrated with color plates and full page line drawings. Bound in publisher's blue buckram stamped in gilt and blocked in black on the spine top edge gilt; lacking the slipcase. Near Fine with light toning covers and contents trivial mottling to rear cover. Binding square and strong plates clean and bright. The Renaissance sculptor and master goldsmith Benvenuto Cellini is known as much for his Autobiography as for his art. Self-aggrandizing and partly invented the memoir is a well-written and highly entertaining addition to the Western canon. Both Cellini's artwork and his posthumously published autobiography influenced the Surrealist artist Salvador Dali who more than matched the Renaissance man in bravado famously writing in his own autobiography: "Every morning upon awakening I experience supreme pleasure: that of being Salvador Dali and I ask myself wonderstruck what prodigious thing will he do today this Salvador Dali.

1996réf. 71711New York: Dover Publications Inc 1996. Paperback. Near Fine. 91 pp. Octavo 21.5 cm. Pictorial wraps. Barcode sticker from previous owner on back wrap. "Few escape the sting of Dali's criticism. Of Picasso he remarks "He went in for the ugly on purpose; he was going to finish off modern art at one blow.' Cezanne is judged 'one of the most marvelously reactionary painters of all time' while Turner is rated as 'without the slightest hesitation without a doubt the worst painter in the world.' These and many more acidic evaluations flow from Dali's pen in an unbroken stream of outrageous observations that are vicious and unfair but also funny and thought-provoking. They are accompanied by renderings of 15 of the paintings mentioned in the text along with 44 of Dali's calligraphic devices."- from back wrap. Dover Publications, Inc paperback books

1960réf. SAD0011960 Original 10 ¼" x 13" wood engraving in a 20 ¼" x 23" frame. Signed by Dalí in red and signed again in pencil. Original color wood engraving of the boatman Charon crossing the Acheron printed on BFK Rives paper with a deckled bottom edge blindstamp of the editor J. Estrade of Les Heures Claires to lower left matted in white and in a black frame. Fine. Overall a striking work by the great Spanish artist. In 1951 the Italian government commissioned Salvador Dalí to create 101 watercolor illustrations for Dante's The Divine Comedy to celebrate the 700th anniversary of the great Italian author's birth. The decision to hire Dalí who was Spanish and a self-proclaimed "Surrealist void of all moral values" was controversial and the government eventually dropped the commission. Nevertheless Dalí deeply inspired by Dante's masterpiece continued creating watercolors finally completing the project in 1959. Dalí struck a deal with his friend French publisher Joseph Forêt of Les Heures Claires to turn the watercolors into engravings for a lavish illustrated edition of The Divine Comedy. Two master engravers spent five years 1959 - 1964 reproducing the watercolors into wood engravings a process that required roughly 3500 wood blocks around 35 for each print. Three limited editions of Dalí's illustrated version of the Divine Comedy were ultimately released between 1960 and 1974: 4765 in French 3188 in Italian and 1000 in German. In all the project took more than a decade and is now recognized as one of Dalí's most towering achievements. Salvador Dalí 1904 - 1989 was an influential Spanish surrealist artist best known for paintings including The Persistence of Memory 1931 The Elephants 1948 and Cabaret Scene 1922. Dalí illustrated a number of famous literary works throughout his career including Dante's The Divine Comedy Cervantes' Don Quixote Lewis Carroll's Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Shakespeare's Macbeth. The Divine Comedy Dante's allegorical masterpiece describes Dante's journey with the poet Virgil through Hell Purgatory and Heaven. The narrative poem is regarded as one of the greatest works of literature and helped standardize the Italian language as we know it today. Influential modernist poet T.S. Eliot wrote in an essay "Dante and Shakespeare divide the modern world between them; there is no third." Inferno Canto III opens with an inscription on the gates of hell: "Abandon all hope ye who enter." Dante and Virgil pass through the gate and encounter the boatman Charon who ferries souls to the opposite shore. . Fine. Illus. by Dalí Salvador. Lithograph. unknown books
