Description

8830 - Limited edition Salvador Dali print titled "Anamorphose 1, Le nu". One of an edition of only 85 published worldwide. This very unusual limited edition can be turned upside down to reveal another image which shows how the incredible mind of Dali worked. Please see the second photo which is upside down, so can be hung either way. It will be supplied with signed certificate of authentication (signed by the Master Printer) along with a replacement valuation certificate for £1800 (free of charge). Professionally framed and mounted. Condition of this piece is excellent. The original painting is a 77 x 73 cms (30 x 29 ins) work on paper, pulling together a range of mediums. The expressive brushstrokes are a blend of oil paint, gouache, watercolour and ink. It is one of many anamorphic works created by Dali; a technique of illusion which dates as far back as Leonardo Da Vinci. Anamorphosis transforms the artwork, often using a mirrored cylinder or distorted angle to reveal a hidden image. 'Le Nu' translates from French to 'the nude'. The female nude was a key theme for Dali throughout his artistic career, seen in his post-impressionist paintings to his surrealist compositions, and everything in-between. . H: 94cm W: 87cm D: 4cm
