Salvador Dali (1904-1989) - Le Tricorne (El sombrero de tres picos)

SALVADOR DALÍ (1904–1989) Le Tricorne (El sombrero de tres picos) — 1959 Special suite of seven black-and-white engravings. Luxury edition for bibliophiles. An interesting set of seven prints belonging to the special black suite of Le Tricorne, one of Salvador Dalí’s prominent collaborations with Spanish literature, created to illustrate the famous tale by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón. Published in 1959 by Éditions du Rocher of Monaco and the Nouveau Cercle Parisien du Livre of Paris, with a French translation by Michel Déon, this edition constitutes a magnificent example of Dalí’s graphic production during the second half of the 1950s. The special relevance of these prints lies in their belonging to the supplementary suite of 13 engravings in black on copper plates, conceived to accompany the luxury copies of a limited edition, in contrast with the 20 color woodcut illustrations of the main edition. These compositions present a particularly interesting facet of Dalí’s graphic language: direct, precise, and spontaneous drawing, developed with lines of great expressiveness and an extraordinary mastery of figurative representation. Scenes of everyday life, popular characters, animals, movement and theatricality combine with the surrealist sensibility of the artist, offering a personal reinterpretation of the Andalusian universe described by Alarcón. The prints are made on high-quality paper suitable for bibliophiles, with wide margins and visible watermarks, features of the meticulous editorial production of this work.
