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. Interesting set of seven prints belonging to the special black suite of Le Tricorne, one of Salvador Dalí’s notable collaborations with Spanish literature, created to illustrate the famous tale by Pedro Antonio de Alarcón. Published in 1959 by Éditions du Rocher in Monaco and the Nouveau Cercle Parisien du Livre de Paris, with a French translation by Michel Déon, this edition constitutes a magnificent example of Dalí’s graphic production during the latter half of the 1950s. The particular significance of these prints lies in their belonging to the supplementary suite of 13 engravings on copper plates, conceived to accompany the deluxe copies of a limited edition, in contrast with the 20 color woodcut illustrations in the main edition. These compositions reveal a particularly interesting facet of Dalí’s graphic language: direct, precise, and spontaneous drawing, developed through highly expressive lines and an extraordinary mastery of figurative representation. Scenes of everyday life, popular characters, animals, movement, and theatricality merge with the surrealist sensibility of the artist, offering a personal reinterpretation of the Andalusian universe described by Alarcón. The prints are made on quality paper for bibliophilia, with wide margins and visible watermarks, characteristics of the careful editorial production of this work.
