Drawn simply, this etching is a reproduction of a 1970 original piece by Dalí and exhibits the late artist’s brilliant skill and refined linework even at an advanced age. Framed in gold, this etching is reverse signed in plate by the artist.
About the Artist:
Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) was born on May 11, 1904 in the town of Figueres, close to the French border of Catalonia, Spain, to a wealthy family who encouraged him to pursue art. Being introduced to modern painting and art at a young age, Dalí studied at the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid, where he made the acquaintance of noted Spanish figures Pepín Bello, Luis Buñuel, and Federico García Lorca. A talented, but eccentric student, Dalí left before his final exams, becoming increasingly fascinated with the Surrealist movement in 1927 and beginning to incorporate subconscious imagery based on the writings of Sigmund Freud into his work. From 1929 to 1937, his painting style matured rapidly, quickly making him the world’s best known surrealist artist; in particular, his 1931 masterpiece The Persistence of Memory is regarded as one of the greatest and most recognizable works of art of the 20th century. Dalí moved to the United States in 1940 with his wife and muse, Gala, where he lived until 1955. Dalí’s later work incorporated themes of religious subjects and continued to use center on Gala. He was forced to retire from painting in 1980 by a motor disorder that caused weak and trembling hands and moved to Pubol, a castle that he had purchased for Gala, where he became increasingly reclusive. Moved back to Figueres by friends and patrons to live his last years comfortably, Dalí died of cardiac arrest on January 23, 1989 at the age of 84.

KAREL APPEL (1921-2006) Signed Color Lithograph “Heads Everywhere”
Color lithograph by famed Dutch artist Karel Appel (1921-2006) depicts an abstracted scene in tones of flesh pinks, reds, and blues and enveloped by black line work and wash. Appel’s postmodernist sensibility to this work creates a brutally beautiful piece of art to add to the collection. Titled “Heads Everywhere”, this lithograph was originally purchased on Broad Street at the Columbus branch of the Pace Gallery in the 1960s-1970s. Dated to 1958, this lithograph is framed in black and signed and numbered in pencil by Appel at the bottom of the print.
About the Artist:
Karel Appel was born in 1921 in the Netherlands, completing his first painting at the age of fourteen and eventually studying at the Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam. Appel had his first show in 1946 and joined CoBrA in 1948; a movement named by the Belgian poet Christian Dotremont from the initials of the members' home countries' capital cities: Copenhagen, Brussels, Amsterdam. Appel’s work displayed spontaneous picture language and childish techniques to conjure fascinating images. His 1949 fresco 'Questioning Children' was placed in Amsterdam City Hall and caused controversy for this reason, causing the work to be covered up for ten years. Appel became the most famous of the CoBrA artists, with shows extending to the United States and portraits of jazz greats Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie becoming subject matter. Appel suffered from a heart ailment and died in 2006 at his home in Zurich, Switzerland.

ROCKWELL KENT (1882-1971) ‘Flame’ Original Woodcut
An original woodcut print from American artist Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) titled “The Bather’ from a 1937 American Block Print Calendar with documentation of the calendar on the back of frame. Each illustration by a notable artist was printed separately so that it could be framed. Image features a heroic figure in the foreground against a large, stark white flame, mountains in the distance. This piece is a prime example of Kent’s recurring theme and interest in mysticism.
About the Artist: Rockwell Kent (1882-1971) was born in Tarrytown, New York and was interested in art from a young age. His family’s financial standings prevented him from pursuing a career in fine arts and consequently, he completed a Bachelor of Arts in architecture at Columbia University. While primarily focusing on scenes of nature, Kent’s figurative works often contain mystical themes such as heroism and isolation. Around 1920, Kent began making woodcuts, establishing himself as one of the most prominent early American Modernists. Kent eventually left the New York art world, his time spent more on progressive political causes such as worker’s rights and preventing the spread of fascism in Europe. Later in his life, Kent found new popularity in the Soviet Union and in 1960, he donated 880 prints, drawings, and paintings to the people of the Soviet Union. Kent died of a heart attack in 1971 and was buried at Asgard, his farm in New York.

From there, his family moved to Israel and eventually westward, stopping in Paris for several months: an experience that Max would later credit to fostering his appreciation for art. Finally settling in Brooklyn, New York, Max began formal art training at the Art Students League of New York, eventually setting up a studio with his friend Tom Daly in 1962. Beginning work in advertising, Max’s usage in counter culture and psychedelic imagery quickly gained popularity, leading him to an appearance on The Tonight Show and designing cover art for Life Magazine. By 1974, Max was commissioned by the United State Postal Service to design a stamp commemorating the Expo ‘74 World’s Fair in Spokane, Washington, followed by the book, “Peter Max Paints America”, a commemoration of the United States Bicentennial. Along with many other pop culture projects and commissions, Max operated galleries throughout the world that sold his work and commercialized products. A modern icon of the Pop Art movement, Max currently resides in New York with his two adult children; his work continuing to remain popular with collectors and galleries alike.
