DALÍ, Salvador (1902 - 1989)

Détail du projet de sculpture pour le festival Las Falla del Foc. Carte postale autographe illustrée d'un dessin-collage original, deux fois signé "Dalí" et "S.D." et daté 1954.

Carte postale (137 x 87 mm). Dessin-collage signé représentant un hélicoptère dessiné, orné, en guise de queue, d'une aile de papillon, et légendé par Dalí. Au verso, orné d'un collage, texte autographe de Dalí de 8 lignes donnant des indications à un destinataire non identifié, peut-être Octavio Vicent, artiste "fallero", sur la sculpture.



"Muy importante DENTRO del elicoptero - Greta Garbo en cera muy bella vestida de negro. Solo sera visible una vez cada hora ya que una cortina tambien negra se abrira i cerrara toda hora para dejarla ver, iluminada por luz de luna. La FOTO de Garbo escogerla "en las agencias". S.D."



Fascinant document sur la conception de la sculpture éphémère que Dalí réalisa pour le festival Las Falla del Foc à Valence, Espagne, en 1954. Cette année, la commission du festival demanda à l'artiste de réaliser une sculpture, hors concours, pour orner la place de la mairie. La sculpture, représentant une corrida surréaliste et réalisée vraisemblablement avec des materiaux majoritairement combustibles, fut, à la fin du festival et comme le veut la tradition, brulée.



Nous remercions M. Nicolas Descharnes pour les informations relatives au document qu'il a eu l'obligeance de nous fournir.



Autograph postcard illustrated with a original drawing-collage by Dalí, regarding an ephemeral sculpture executed for the festival Las Fallas del Foc, in Valencia, in 1954.

14 x 9 x 1 cm.
