Salvador Dali - Les Trois sphinx de Bikini (1947)

Salvador Dali Les Trois sphinx de Bikini (1947) Signed in the stone. Sheet size: 50 x 65 cm Image 35 x 45 cm Numbered in pencil in Roman numerals: MDCX/MM. Hand-crafted paper with fringed edges. B.F.K Rives paper (watermark) With the characteristic publisher's blind stamp. Very good condition 1988 for the lithograph 1947 for the original painting Publisher: ateliers Jobin, Paris Tracked international parcel. Dali’s painting shows three aftershocks of the gigantic contemporary death tree, the mushroom cloud; both are identical head-shape, seen from the back, on which the white hair is both brains and cloud; between both, the third head is actually a tree... But a tree whose trunk is disappearing. Dialectics of appearance and disappearance, of the soft and the hard, the outside and the inside, the microcosm and the macrocosm, the light and the shadow, the angelic and the demonic intelligence and madness... All this universe of ambivalence and metamorphoses peculiar to Dali can be read in this picture-sphinx.
