About the Item

Salvador Dalí Merchant of Venice, 1968 Signed lower right, numbered lower left, inscribed on the reverse Etching on paper 7 x 5 inches Sheet 17 x 12 1/4 inches Edition 107/250 Salvador Dalí (1904–1989) was a Spanish painter, sculptor, filmmaker, and writer best known as one of the leading figures of the Surrealist movement. Born in Figueres, Catalonia, Dalí studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Madrid, where he developed exceptional technical skill while experimenting with Cubism and other modernist styles. During the late 1920s, he became closely associated with the Surrealists in Paris and developed his distinctive approach to depicting dreamlike and psychologically charged imagery with remarkable realism. Dalí became famous for paintings that combine meticulously rendered objects with strange transformations, barren landscapes, and unexpected juxtapositions. His 1931 masterpiece The Persistence of Memory, featuring melting clocks in an eerie landscape, remains one of the most recognizable works of Surrealism. Dalí described his creative approach as the “paranoiac-critical method,” through which he sought to access irrational associations and imagery from the subconscious. Beyond painting, Dalí worked in sculpture, photography, film, fashion, jewelry, and theater, collaborating with figures including filmmaker Luis Buñuel and Alfred Hitchcock. His flamboyant personality, theatrical appearance, and talent for self-promotion made him an international celebrity as well as a controversial figure within the art world. Dalí spent much of his later life between Spain and the United States and died in his hometown of Figueres in 1989. Today, he is regarded as one of the most influential and recognizable artists of the twentieth century.

"Figures, " Melecio Galvan, Modern Mexican Anti-War Artist, Social Justice

Located in New York, NY

Melecio Galvan (1945 - 1982) Figures, 1968 Sepia on paper 18 x 22 inches Signed and dated lower right Provenance: Estate of the artist Melecio Galván (San Rafael, Mexico, 1945 - 1982) was a Mexican draughtsman who was little-known during his lifetime. This is principally because he was a socio-politically committed artist wary of the commercial gallery circuit as well as art institutions controlled by the state. He arose from a working-class family in San Rafael, on the outskirts of Mexico City, and died under mysterious circumstances in that town at the age of 37, just when he was reaching the apogee of his mature style. Galván studied at the Academia San Carlos in Mexico City between 1965 and 1968. His preferred medium was ink on paper, and he created page upon page of sketchbooks filled with drawings. The major themes he developed in his work were reinterpretations of classical drawings of the human figure and anatomy studies, explorations of the grotesque, and themes related to the socio-political situation in Mexico, especially following the 1968 Tlateloco Massacre. In 1971-72, he traveled to Northern California where he collaborated on a mural in Fresno and created illustrations for the Latino journal Basta Ya (Enough Already) in San Francisco. Back in Mexico City, from 1977 to 1981 he was a member of the Grupo MIRA, primarily comprised of printmakers who favored themes of politics and social justice...

"Animal Illustrations" Allan Rohan Crite, 2 Ink Drawings African American Artist

Located in New York, NY

Allan Rohan Crite Animal Illustrations Signed lower left Pen and ink on paper 23 1/2 x 16 inches Brought up in Boston, Crite received his art training al the School of the Museum of Fine Arts and earned a Bachelor of Arts degree at the Harvard University Extension School in 1968. He worked for most of his life as an illustrator in the Planning Department of the Boston Naval Shipyards, retiring in 1976, but continued to paint at the same time. His work has been widely exhibited and well received in Boston, where a square is named after him. Crite's early paintings depict the daily life of Boston's African-American community, a community that was to be transformed in the following decade by urban renewal and housing projects. In his later paintings, magic-realist visions in which a black Virgin and Child ride on public transportation or float above the city streets, Crite used a bright palette rather than the more somber tones of his "neighborhood paintings...
