1960rif. 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

B&W drawings color plates "Dali does not suffer from those convenient lapses of memory so common to most authors when they are faced with the problem of writing about themselves. Dali has held nothing back. The result is a human documented uninhibited by false modesty or self-consciousness. The world has long wondered how Dali felt about the things he has done and why he has done them. Here is the answer an answer written in simple understandable prose. When you have finished the book perhaps you too will agree that in calling himself a genius Dali does not overstate the case." All quoted from the dust jacket on a different copy of the book once handled by us. Dali Overstate Heaven forbid! Here's a little context: at the time this book was published Dali was all of 38 years old; he died at 84 in 1989. Although I don't think his high opinion of himself had materially shifted in the interim. NOTE that the "color plates" specified include in this copy only a double-page spread in the front of the book and a single additonal color plate a full-page reproduction of a painting untitled; it's possible that other plates may be missing from this copy but as there is no reference list of illustrations I can't be sure.
