Miscellaneous Comments & Questions On Dali A common request is for the value of a particular work. These kinds of requests I cannot answer. You must check with a local reputable dealer or art gallery in your area to get an honest appraisal of any of Dali works.
Another common request is one that requires an immediate response but due to the numerous pages I have, that is more often than not rarely possible. To those people my sincere apologies. I may not be able to answer most emails right away but all of them will eventually be answered.

Question by Lydia from ???: "dear omega or anyone else, can anyone please explain to me or give me a website that explains the meaning of the painting "Metamorphosis of Narcissus"? I am desprate..."
Omega: Dali himself described the painting in a poem which you can find further down on this page and also the picture of it.

Question by Mike from Redwood City, California, U.S.A.: "Lincoln in Dalivision - Omega, I have seen similar type of art that uses a collage of small images. Each one is altered in color and the whole collage creates a large picture of the small image. Do you know what this technique or style is called? I've heard that there are web sites or software (freeware? shareware? commercial?) available to create these images, given the small image. Do you know of any?"
Omega: The real name for the artwork is Gala Contemplating the Mediterranean Sea which at Twenty Metres Becomes the Portrait of Abraham Lincoln (Homage to Rothko) which he created in 1976 with oil on canvass and measures 99 1/4 x 75 1/2". It is in a private collection. I have never come across an official name for the style. Unofficialy I have come across the style being called Dali Vision, PixnPix and Constant Density Graphics. Dali's version is different as it contains multiple images which depending on your perspective while viewing it change. I came across a site once that described the software you are asking about recently but I cannot recall where it was.

Question by Misti from ???: "I have been searching the web trying to find a picture of Les Desirs Inassouvis by Dali from 1928. Any idea where I can find it? Your help would be greatly appreciated!!!"
Omega: If anyone can help out Misti please E-Mail me.

Question by Josh Harrold from Heidelberg, Germany: "My name is Josh Harrold, and I am a student in Heidelberg, Germany studying in conjunction with Pepperdine University. In my Humanities class, I am required to do an extensive study on several paintings of my choice that I have seen so far. Two weeks ago, I was able to go to Madrid and see some of the works of Dali. The painting that blew me away was The Endless Enigma (1938). For my report on these paintings I have to go through a seven-step process to explain the painting. These are: 1.) Name of artwork; 2.) Date; 3.) Artist; 4.) Iconography...what is going on in the painting, the story...; 5.) Style; 6.) Symbolism; 7.) Personal Impact; The first three and the last one are easy enough, but the middle three are giving me some problems..."

Omega: This work was created in 1938 in Dali's studio at Coco Channel's villa, La Pausa in Roguebrune. This painting is a characteristic example of multiplied-ad-infinitum images. You can see horse's hoofs which are part of a mythological beast. You can see the beak of a bird of prey which is also part of the mythological beast. You can see the beach at Cape Creus with a seated woman seen from the back mending a sail, and the boat to her left. You can see the visage of the great cyclopean cretin who is also a banal fruit dish with pears and two figs. In the distance are the Catalan coves are seen in profile. In the foreground, there is a red rag and a dead branch bearing a single fruit and the skeleton of a fish. There is an olive branch with a few leaves and fruits. You can see in the upper half a philosopher lying stretched out. There is a greyhound which its front leg makes up part of the mandolin with the fruit dish to its right and both ontop of a table. Some believe that this painting is Dali denouncing the cretinization of man as it was painted at the beginning of another world war.

Question by lientjie from South Africa: "I'll be glad if you can help me with information on the Jewelry pieces Salvador Dali designed and, I think, Alemany & Co. or/and Verdura, a famous jeweler in New York executed his designs? Rudolph Charles von Ripper was the keeper of the Dali Jewels? I found a book in a library with a lot of Dali's Jewels and objects d'art and the titles if these pieces but no more information or discussions on them. Will you be able to help me? Maybe as you told someone about the article about Dali in the Life magazine, tell me in which magazines I can search for articles on his jewels. Or Whatever!..."
Omega: Like you, I had an impossible time finding any background on his jewelry creations other than this quote from Dali about Verdura: "Jewelry in collaboration with the Duke of Verdura, inspired by our common nostalgia for the Renaissance." If anyone can help out lientjie please E-Mail me.

Question by Bob Stanton from ???: "Have a Dali titled, "Alice in Wonderland", purchased as an original mixed media, etching and lithograph. It is a singed artist proof. Have not been able to find any information on this Dali and would be would like any info available..."

Omega: Dali did illustrate a version of Alice In Wonderland which yours maybe from. This limited edition, beautifully illustrated book was sold in a fold out slip case.

Response by Matthew from ???: "..."alice in wonderland" Illustrated by Salvador Dali. That is my favorite book and favorite artist in one,... You mentioned limtied edition, is it rare? Any help on this matter would be appreciated."

Omega: It was a limited edition and therefore somewhat rare.

Question by Pellegrino from ???: "I had seen lithographs titled "le tricorne" while in the paris dali museum at Montmarte. Is there any availability & listings info regarding these works?"
Omega: I only know of Picasso's works for Le Tricorne and nothing of Dali's. If anyone can help out Pellegrino please E-Mail me.

Question by Conrad Muller from ???: "hi my name is conrad muller and am fascinated by dali, I am doing a report on a work i saw in san francisco. It was called Portrait of Enid Haldorn. I was wondering if u have an image of it. I would greatly appreciate it."
Omega: If anyone can help out Conrad please E-Mail me.

Question by Grant from Virginia, U.S.A.: "HI, I was wandering where Dali was from, and a basic biography of his life, not so much on his work, but on what his work meant to his culture. Thanks,"
Omega: This is a question that requires a novel for an answer and therefore I suggest you pick up any book on Dali and it would be better than any attempt I could make in the limited space I have here. Saying that, I'll give you a brief synapses of his life. He was born on the 11th May, 1904 at 8:45 a.m. at 20 Calle Monturiol, Figueras, Gerona, (Catalonia) Spain of Salvador Dali i Cusi and Felipa Domenech and was named Salvador Domenech Felipe Jacinto Dali. In 1914 while convalescing at Ramon Pichot house, a friend of the Dali's, he was impressed by Ramon Pichot's Impressionist painting and painted his first painting which was a self-portrait called L'Enfant Malade (Sick Child). In 1919 he participates in student political agitation and was arrested for twenty-four hours. In 1923 he was suspended for onr year from San Fernando Institute for inciting students to protest, following a demonstration against the appointment of a professor and received a one month political preventative arrest in prison of Figueras. On October 20, 1926, Dali is permanently expelled from San Fernando Institute by decree of the King. In 1927 he spent 9 months in military service and that year was his first visit to Paris. Dali goes on to a fruitful life as an artist for many more decades until his death on January 23rd, 1989.

Question by Yasmine van Tenten from Belgium: "Hello, Could you please help me to find a certain painting of Dali, name unknown to me. I saw it in the "fundacion Gala-Salvador Dali" at Figueres. It's a double painting, representing a big black eye on each one, with yellow-orange background colors. Do you know whether/where I could find it on the net or on a postcard? Thank you very much!!!"
Omega: If anyone can help out Yasmine please E-Mail me.

Question by Emily Pierson from ???: "i was given a dali print today by a friend that was aware of the fact that i am a huge fan. however, neither of us are sure what the title is, and i am unable to find the picture in any of my books. any assistance you could give me in my search to find the title would be greatly appreciated. a brief description: there are two girls. both bodies are not visually there. however, through the technique he uses their bodies are within the floor boards. on the right hand side of the picture it appears to be the titanic coming into the room within which the girls are. on the left hand side there is a tree and a hot-air balloon. contained in the basket of the balloon is a bouqet of flowers. if you cannot help me, maybe you know of someone who can?..."
Omega: If anyone can help out Emily please E-Mail me.
Response from Heather: The painting is by Dominique Appio.

Question by Joe from ???: "Would you be able to identify these two pictures?"
Omega:At left is The Poetry of America, 1943, unfinished oil on canvass, 46 by 31". It belongs to the Fondacion Gala-Salvador-Dali in Figueres, Spain. The second work that joe asked about is The Ghost Of Vermeer Of Delft Which Can Be Used As A Table and it can be seen further on down the page.

The Divine Comedy - La Divine Comedie

	Question by Wendy from Pennsylvania, U.S.A.: "Help - I recently purchased one of the Divine Comedy engravings. The title given to me by the auction house was "The Ghost Spoken Of" Inferno #34. I then found it on another webpage titled "The Waterfall of Phlegethon" Inferno #34. I then found it on ANOTHER website - this time for sale - as Inferno #16 with no title. The website selling the engraving is caliming it's original an they will document it, yet I have papers saying I have the original and it was appraised. Which is the correct title? And, I know there was a scandal a few years back involving Dali fakes. How do I determine whether mine is the original or not? (I know next to nothing about Dali and the Divine Comedy series. Mine has a brown tree in the background, a being [the devil?] in a crimson cloak and a river of red flowing between the two.)"
Omega: At left is the watercolour you are talking about La cascade du Flag tonte Enfer #34 (The waterfall of the Phlegethon Inferno #34). I came across the same sites I think you encountered but I believe this is the correct name as it is descritive of the work. The site that had it as #16 is definately wrong. It is true there was a problem with fakes out of Hawaii, U.S.A. a while ago so only a reputable dealer/museum who is familiar with Dali can authenticate a work of art. As far as the Divine Comedy series, it was a series of 102 watercolours that he created with the intention of them being illustrations for Dante's Divine Comedy between 1950-52. I have never come across the mention of any engravings that he had made of the series so I cannot give you any information on them. If anyone can help Wendy with any information on this work, please E-Mail me.
Comments from Steve from ???: "I have a Dali print that was asked about on your site. It is The Ghost Spoken of Inferno 34. You called it The Waterfall of the Phlegethon Inferno #34. I was wondering if you could provide with with any info about it. I have attached a copy of the image.
Omega: I believe what I called it is correct as it is a translation of the actual French name of the work,
Comments from Gerry from ???: "Omega, i have 3 dali lithographic's (watercolor). They each have Authenticity papers. They are entitled "la divine comedie". This is what The papers say. Edition of 150. Dated pulled 1970. At paris france. Artists proofs 50. Plate cancelled destroyed..."

Question by Bob from ???: "...Could you help me w/ a scanned image of the painting, "Angelic Landscape" (1977) that I saw as part of the Angels from the Vatican exhibit in St. Louis, MO, USA? Thank you very much if you can, Bob"
Omega: "Angelic Landscape" was painted in 1977 and is an oil on canvas, measuring 30" x 39 3/4" and belongs to the Vatican Museums.

Question by Joyce from ???: "I have read several biographies but none of them mention the age of Dali when he created his first painting. Do you know?"
Omega: In 1914 Dali began painting houses and landscapes of the Catalan countryside after visiting the Mill Tower estate owned by friends of the family, the Pichots. After viewing Ramon Pichot's canvases, Dali decreed he would be a painter, an Impressionist painter. Pepito Pichot persuded Dali's father to let Salvador take lessons from the german painter Siegfrid Burmann a portrait and landscape painter who was staying in Cadaques where the Dali's had a summer home. That year Burmann gave him his first palette and his first tubes of oil paint. One of Dali's paintings from that year is called "Dutch Interior" which is a copy after Manuel Benedito and is an oil on canvas, measuring 6 1/2" x 7 7/8" and is in a private collection.

Question by Mike from Delaware, U.S.A.: "I own a pencil signed lithograph titled "The Wailing Wall" which I purchased in 1984 or 1985. I have been unable to find any information relating to this beautiful work and I hope that you might be able to provide some information or point me in the right direction. I also would like to determine its approximate value for possible sale. None of the local gallaries in Delaware have been able to assist me. Thank you so much."
Omega: This lithograph measures 22" x 28". This is the most I could find on this work.

Question by Christine from ???: "We are writing to you from Switzerland and it would be very nice if you could give us your advices. Our aunt gave us 10 lithographys from Dali about "Dali and Monotheism" by Sigmund Freud. They have been printed on lamb skin. They are all gathered in a big silver box and Moise (from Michelangelo) in on the front cover. The box (also contains different skin pages with the story. 250 of these boxes have been on the market. Our aunt bought it in 1974 for about US$ 20'000.00 (CHF 35'000.00) for the 10. We had an expertise and they told us that now they are now worth US$ 800.00 for the 10 pieces. Do you think that we could sell them for more?? Do you know anyone we could ask who knows exactly about these lithographies?? Thank you very much for letting us know your comments. Good bye from the sunny Swiss Alps, Regards,"

Omega: If anyone can help Christine with any information on this work, please E-Mail me.

Omega: I would like to thank aschue1 from ??? for sending in the following information to help out Christine:
"I have a catalog of Dali lithographs and it contains a picture of a set of 10 lithographs titled Moses and Monotheism done in 1975. This may be the set that Christine is speaking of..."

Question by luigi from ???: "I would like to have a poster reproduction of Salvator Dali's masterpiece "The creation of the monsters". Can you tell me how to get it? Many thanks Regards."

Omega: I assume you mean "The Invention of the Monsters" done in 1937 with oil on panel and which measures 20 1/8" x 30 7/8" and belongs to The Art Institute of Chicago in the U.S.A. There is also have another version which is titled "Formation of Monsters" drawn in 1937 and is ink on Pink paper, measuring 9 1/4" x 6 5/6" and is in a private collection. Dali described "The Invention of the Monsters as: "Acoording to Nostradamus, the apparition of monsters is an omen of war. This canvas was painted in the mountains of Semmering, near Vienna, a few months before the Anschluss, and it has a prphetic character. The women-horses represent the maternal monster rivers, the giraffe on fire the masculine cosmic apocalyptic monster. The angel-cat is the divine hetrosexual monster, the hourglass the metaphysical monster. Only the little blue dog is not a true monster." This work is available from art poster dealers.

Question by Bob from ???: "i am interested in talking to anyone who owns or has seen the 24" bronze sculpture "venus au Giraffe" regarding price and condition"

Omega: If anyone can help Bob with any information on this work, please E-Mail me.

Question by Carter Lines from ???: "I have been looking for a painting on the net for some time now. It is one of Dali's masterworks that I recently viewed in the Dali museum in St.Petersburg, Fl.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank you."

Omega: If anyone can help Carter with any information on this work, please E-Mail me.

Response by Rand from ???: "I have a signed limited edition lithograph that looks similar. I am trying to have it appraised and then sell it. I have the one that I believe is called The Cosmo Crushing The Philosopher. It is apparently from a group of three paintings called the cosmos series. I have no idea if I am correct on this, but it seems to be the same general style."

Question by Keith from London, England: "Hi!! Been browsing your site, actually I am planning a tattoo and know an artist who is very much into Dali, and I was looking at your site for some ideas... Anyway, I thought you may be interested in this picture, as a bit of Dali related stuff, it is a portrait of the artist that my mate Roger Rabbit, who is a tattoo artist working at The Blue Dragon studio in Brighton, England, did (get this, it slays me!!) upside down on his own thigh!! Hope you find it usefull, or at the very least pretty darn funny!! Many thanks"

Question by Acaddi from ???: "i would like the name of a work i viewed at the ft. lauderdale art museum in '96. it was part of the the st. pete tour. i wouldn't consider it a "typical" dali. it portrays two astronauts in a space capsule. they are traveling through space. the capsule reminded me of the womb of mother earth protecting the travelers. where can i purchase a quality reproduction? thank you"

Omega: If anyone can help Acaddi with any information on this work, please E-Mail me.

Question by Lissa from Pennsylvaniae, U.S.A.: "Hi. I'm looking for a poster of a Dali painting entitled "Figure on the Rocks." I forget the year that he did the painting, but it is very striking and is influenced by the style of Picasso. It depicts a woman (I think it's his sister) stretched out on jagged rocks. I called the St. Petersburgh museum, but they do not have it...Thanks."

Omega: The study for the painting "Figure on the Rocks (Estudio para el cuadro Figura damunt les roques)" (top left) was on loan to the St. Petersburg museum from the collection of Mr. and Mrs. A. Reynolds Morse. The study was drawn in 1926 and is pen and pencil measuring 5" x 5 3/4". The actual painting "Figure on the Rocks (Figura Damunt les roques)" (bottom left) was also done in 1926 and is Oil on panel measuring 10 3/4" x 16" and it use to be and I thought still was owned by the Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S.A. They may not have recognized the name as this painting is usually known as "Reclining Woman (Femme couchee)". Dali, his sister Ana Maria and their friend Fedrico Garcia Lorca were in the habit of calling this kind of subject (a woman stretched out on the rocks) a "piece of ass".

Question by eD aLLAN from ???: "I have a lithograph?, Dali pen and ink, titled Messenger in a Palladian landscape. (numbered 126/275) Can you tell me anythiing about it. Date etc?"
	Omega: "Messenger in a Paladian Landscape" was drawn circa 1936 and is india ink on rose paper. It measures 17 1/2" x 23 5/8". It was part of the former collection of Edward James and now is in a private collection.

Question by Aida from ???: "Hello. Can you tell us when did Gala die? Goodbuy. Thank you."

Omega: Gala died June 10, 1982.

Question by Corrie Garrona from Boston, Massechussetts, U.S.A.: "My name is Corrie Garrona from Boston, Massechussetts, U.S.A. and I am composing a scrapbook of Salvador Dali's life for an English project. On the Internet, I came across some information that Dali was one to idolize Hitler and also that he could have possibly had a mental disability. It would be vital to clarify and use this information for my scrapbook if you would be so kind to email me back, even if you have no answers...Thank you so very much, in advance."

Omega: I do not believe he idolized Hitler and definitly not Hitlers atrocities, but his obession with Hitler was eventually what the Surrealists had used as a pretense for expelling Dali from the movement in 1934. In actuality, there were many reasons, but the argument was made that Dali was expressing facist ideas, and that this was simply unacceptable. Dali use to play around with the fact that some people believed him to be crazy which he was not but he loved to clown around when in public and be the madman. He use to state that Dali was not crazy but crazy is Dali. He was a genius with a great since of humor.

Question by Marilyn Denington from Cordova, Tennessee, U.S.A.: "I bought a signed/numbered Dali print (I think a litho) in 1972 which is from the Calderan(?) Suite....a b/w scene from Roman times with two nude gladiators fighting. I cannot find out any info on this piece...can you help?"

Omega: If anyone can help Marilyn with any information on this work, please E-Mail me.

Question by Ori Alon from Israel: "Hi, My name is Ori Alon and I am from Israel. I am a student in the 10th grade and I am doing a project about Dali and the major question of the project is: why did Dali repeated almost the same painting about 30 years later in "the persistance of memory" and "the disentigration of the persitance of memory"? It would be great if you could also explain the symbols of "Dalinian Surrealism". I would realy appreciate it if you could help me!!!"

Omega: I do not know why Dali made the 2nd Persistance of Memory calling it its disintegration other than he could have believed in the 1950's that man was on the road to destruction with the cold war and nuclear war being a possibility so therefore he painted its disintegration. As for symbols, he has many. The invisible images are my favourites. His soft watches were because he thought americans where hung up on time. Other common symbols in his paintings are insects, crutches and Gala. If anyone can help Ori with anymore information on these works, please E-Mail me.

Question by Anna from Holland: "Hi I'm Anna from Holland and i'm writing an essay in which i want to make a comparison of Dali with Vermeer van Delft. I found a painting of Dali literaly copied from Vermeer De kantwerkster (La Dentelliere). And a painting also related to the same painting Erude paranoiaque-critique de la "Dentelliere" de Vermeer. With these two paintings its very obvious that he was inspired by Vermeer but i also found a painting L�mage disparait which has a lot in common with Brieflezend meisje bij het venster. I really want to know in what way Dali was inspired by Vermeer."

Omega: Dali actualy has a few works based on or about Vermeer. Dali was influenced by various artists and Vermeer was one of them. A couple of quotes by Dali on Vermeer are:
"For in the cleanliness and the probity of the daily household life in the interiors filled with mystrious luminosity, it must be recognized that Vermeer was a veritable pearl." - quote from 1940
"In my point of view, a Vermeer is exactly the opposite of a painting by Henri Matisse; in spite of the great esteem I have for this enormously gifted painter, I must say that he is the prototype example of weakness, because his painting is far from being chaste. Vermeer does not touch the object while he violates reality; he transforms it and reduces it to something nearly bacchanalian." - quote from a lecture given at the Sorbonne in December 17, 1955.

Question by Virginia Carroll from ???: "My father purchased a 3-item set of limited edition signed Dali Lithographs in 1983:
1. Battle of Tetuan (Riches paper - edition "HC 12/90")
2. Battle of Tetuan (Japon paper - edition "HC 12/90")
3. Ascension of Gala (Arches paper - edition "HC 12/90")
He also has two other signed Dali lithographs:
4. The Kingdom of Gala (edition 85/85)
5. Gala with Child (edition EA)
And one that's signed but not numbered:
6. Lincoln in Dali Vision
How can I get an idea as to the worth of each of these? Is there an art dealer in New England that you would recommend if he decides to sell them? How can I research prices (retail/wholesale) of Dali items in general? Please E-Mail me"

Omega: At left is "The Kingdom Of Gala" 22 1/4" x 29 3/4". The "Battle of Tetuan" and "Lincoln in Dali Vision" graphics can be found further down this page. I always recommend you check with your local art gallery or dealer for any appraisal. I have not come across any collectors guide to help determine the value of lithographs.

Spanish Civil War

Question by Carolina from Pennsylvania, U.S.A.: "Hello, I need some info on the interpretation of the following paintings: -Galatea of the spheres 1952; -Enchanted beach with three fluid graces 1938; -spain 1938. Where can i find them?? Thank you"
	Omega: On the top left is Galatea Of The Sheres, 1952, oil on canvas, and currently found at Fundaci�n Gala-Salvador Dal�, Figueras, Spain. This is a portrait of Gala and explodes on the canvas as Dali said like a "a paroxysm of joy, anarchic monarchy, unity of the universe". On the bottom left is Enchanted Beach with three Fluid Graces (1938) Oil on canvas 25 5/8 x 32 inches. It is owned by the Morse Charitable Trust and is on loan to Salvador Dali Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, U.S.A. The figure to the far right has a head formed from a distant landscape seen throught a hole in the rocks, and the middle graces facial features are made up from details of the beach. The one on the left's body is left to the imagination with only her arms, legs and head as reference points. The head of the left grace with the rock to its right also makeup the eyes of another head. A graphic of Spain can be found further down this page. In the painting, the figure of the woman leaning her elbow on a night stand symbolizes the Spanish Civil War. Dali wrote in his Secret Life: "Throughout all martyrized Spain rose an odor of incense, of the burning flesh of priests, of spiritual quartered flesh, mixed with the powerful scent of the sweat of mobs fornicating among themselves and with Death." The torso and the face of the female figure are made up of groups of Renaissance warriors, of condottieri, inspired by a combat of horsemen done by Leonardo da Vinci. Although signed in 1938, this picture was probably started sooner. When exhibited in a one-man show that he, aided by Gala, organized in February 1939 in the studio where they lived on the rue de la Tombe-Issoire in Paris, the first to arrive and the last to leave was Picasso, who asked especially to see Spain.

Question by Jin from ???: "hello my name is Jin, i have a question about Dali. "how did he feel about the spanish civil war, and how did he react?" it would be great if you could answer my question, and e-mail it to me. thanks for your time."
Omega: above there is a brief explanation in Dali's own words.

Question by theedge from ???: "...Have a question if you could put it on your site: I have a signed Dali print, stone engraving, titled Exploding Madonna, bought via a Hawaii gallery. Anyone else with a signed print? Any idea of value? How to authenticate? Thank you."
Omega: The lithograph measures 22" x 28". Please email theedge" if you have any information on this work.

Question by Bernard from ???: "A quick question about a set of 5 French PUIFORCAT limoges china plates done by Dali (1967) called "Joker and the Royal Flush". My wife and I purchased them many years ago and were wondering if they hold any value today? It was a limited edition run according to the info contained on the back of each plate. We have set 511 of 2000. Where do I go to find out such info? Thanks."
Omega: If anyone can help Bernard with any information on this work, please E-Mail me.
Response from Ann from ???: "I also have the plates. #320/2000. Have been wondering about their value..."

Question by Elizabeth from ???: "I was wondering if you could give me some history on a self portrait of Dali that I inherited from my grandmother. I suspect it might be real. It looks like a grid of colored triangles, but when you stand back it transforms into a head shot of Dali in brown and white (not black and white). It looks like his head is tilted back a little and his moustache curls all the way up to his cheekbones. His expression is very aloof as if he wants to say hmmph! But his eyes seem to be shut. I can see his neck as well and it appears as if he is wearing a white shirt with a stiff collar...perhaps a tuxedo? It measures 17x25, the paper is very old and turning yellow it isn't glossy or laminated it has a matte finish and I can scratch the soft powdery color off with my nail. There are some numbers on the margin of the print and a signiture but it doesn't seem to read Dali..."

Omega: If anyone can help Elizabeth with any information on these works, please E-Mail me.

Question by Ron from Meirav, Israel: "...i'm looking for Dali's drawings that were made by the inspiration of "The Songs of Maldoror" by Lautreamont, please help me..."

Omega: In 1933, Dali illustrated the "Chante de Maldoror" by Isidore Ducasse who was better known as Lautreamont. Dali created forty-two etchings illustrating the Chants, which were published by the Swiss publisher Albert Skira in 1934. Two other etchings were not selected for publication which made it a total of forty-four. Some of the etchings were included with the text, while other larger works were grouped into seperate sets accompanying the first forty copies of the book. The original forty-four etchings are on paper, 33 x 25.5 cm. and belong to the Klaus Hegewich collection in Hamburg, Germany.

Question by Michael and Ronda from ???: "...I have a Question however that you may help me with. I saw a T-Shirt that had a Dali Print on the front of it. It was very unique!! It depicted a Human Skull from one perspective, or looking at it from afar, OR when looked up close it showed that the Skull was actually made up of Nude Women Kneeling in sublimation to another woman!! it was incredible!! i was wondering two things: 1) do you know the name of this print, 2) do you know where i could possibly buy one of these tshirts, and 3) are there posters of this print for sale???.. thank you so much for your help.. we are big Dali fans here.."

Omega: Dali made various so called death heads. The one you seem to be describing was made by using four female nudes and was photographed by Philippe Halsman in 1954. Dali then took the photograph and painted details in it.

Question by Jenelle from Washington, U.S.A.: "I am looking for information on what I believe is a Dali painting. It is of a girl striding or running across the scene, looking - not frantic but perhaps anxiously - over her shoulder. The background is a world seemingly in flames. I believe it is entitled "dal Gret". I was shown a photo of it in an art history book years ago. Do you know this work? Where is it? I would like any information at all."

Omega: If anyone can help Jenelle with any information on this work, please E-Mail me.

Question by Rusty from ???: "I have a water color that was given to me by my grandmother. It is a One Eyed Jack of Hearts playing card. I have tried to find information about this and have been unsuccessful. Do you have any information or know where I might look."

Omega: If anyone can help Rusty with any information on this work, please E-Mail me.
