| Question by Abby from ???: "I have a signed lithographic print entitled "The Three Graces of Hawaii" by Salvador Dali. I am looking for any information I can regarding this beautiful piece of art. In particular I am seeking authentication, history, and value of this artwork. Furthermore, the origional purchase was through the Center Art Galleries of Hawaii in 1983 prior to the questionable operation of the gallery. This particular piece was part of a series entitled "Golden People". I would be grateful for any sources of exploratory information anyone has regarding the "The Three Graces of Hawaii", and Salvador Dali's interest or solicitation create this symbolic painting." |
| Omega: If anyone can help Abby 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 Abby: "The Three Graces of Hawaii was done in 1979 and published by Levine and Levine. I have been told to only purchase prints authenticated by Albert Field...they also do appraisels. So I would recommend getting them authenticated by him. I am planning to get some Dali lithographs that I have, authenticated by him as well. Good Luck," |
| Question by Phyllis from Redding, California, U.S.A.: "...I wonder if you can tell me about a piece of Dali's work which has recently been offered for sale to me. It is a small (appox. 8" by 10") pen and ink of a knight on horseback. The knight holds a large shield decorated with a cross. Dali's signature is prominent in the upper left hand corner. I wonder about its age and (ballpark) value..." |

| Comments by Jay Bruneau from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada: "I was surfing through Dali sites as parts of my research when I stumbled upon your Winnipeg page. I too am from Winnipeg and I also go to the U of M. Im in my first year of Arts and am doing an essay on Dali's religious works. I am appalled at the lack of analyses or even general description of Dali's religious works not only on the Web but also in books. The amount of research material available in Winnipeg on Dali is horrible. The major libraries have little and what they have is either lost or perpetually on loan; and the bookstore cannot even order either Secret Life or Diary Of A genius. Its Feb 5 as I write and my essay is due tommorrow. If I would have discovered your sight earlier perhaps I could have requested some help but...As it stands I believe I have enough to pull it off..." |
| Question by Josefin Andersson from Sweden: "Dear Omega, I would be really happy if you could help me find a poem that is supposed to belong to the picture "Metamorphasis on Narcissuss". If not, please let me know where I could find more information about the poem and the painting. Many thanks." |
| Omega: Dali did write a poem in 1937
called "Metamorphosis Of Narcissus". Narcissus, in his immobility, absorbed by his reflection with the digestive slowness of carnivorous plants, becomes invisible. There remains of him only the hallucinatingly white oval of his head, his head again more tender, his head, chrysalis of hidden biological designs, his head held up by the tips of the water's fingers, at the tips of the fingers of the insensate hand, of the terrible hand, of the excrement-eating hand, of the mortal hand of his own reflection. When that head slits when that head splits when that head bursts, it will be the flower, the new Narcissus, Gala= my narcissus |
| Question from Magda from ???: "Hello!! I was wondering if you had ANY idea of where I could purchase a Salvador Dali t-shirt?? I have only seen one ( I was also in Mexico-- ) but someone was wearing one.. which shows they are out there..." |
| Omega: They are out there as I own a few. Here in Toronto you can find them every now and then in specialty T-Shirt stores, so I assume most large cities it will be the same. Also art galeries/museums that show Dali works sometimes carry Dali t-shirts. I have not found any online sites where you can order them. |
| Question from Adam from ???: "...I recently bought at auction a Dali Etching entitled "Cervantes". I understand that it is from his Spanish Immortals series. When was the series done? How many were in the series and how many were produced? The etching I have is authenticated by the Societe de Verification de la Nouvelle Gravure Internationale of New York and Paris. This is signed in the plate but there is no number. Can you give me any more info on this work and an approximate value?..." |
| Omega: I would like to thank David from
??? for providing the following information to answer Adam's above
question: "I (too) have a Dali lithograph entitled "Cervantes" with the Collectors Guild seal on the back. I've checked around the web and emailed whomever I could to find out more about it. I recently received the following info from Mr. Albert Field at the Dali Archives. Collectors Guild made two editions, both legal. The first was pencil signed by Dali. Then he scratched his name in the plate and hundreds more were made, without signature. If yours has no signature UNDER THE PRINT it is from the second edition and sold at the time it was issued for $30-60. The first edition was l965. They began selling the second edition either that year or a few years later and kept selling it for as long as people would buy it. I can't guess how long that was. Albert Field" |
| Omega: I would like to thank Jerry from
??? for providing the following information to answer Adam's above
question: "Hello,...I have a little bit of information in regards to Adam's question on the Societe de Verification de la Nouvelle Gravure Internationale. If one can find at (probibly) a second hand bookstore, a copy of a book on Dali's history and retrospective (I unfortunately do not know the exact title) printed in the mid 1970's, there is detailed list of all of his early series. I have an engraving of Portrait of Velazquez with the same verification and notary stamp which I finally found in a book at a second hand bookstore. I didn't buy the book because I found the info that I needed and didn't realize that other people were having the same problem. (my engraving is from the Spanish conqistators seris from June, 1919 and is signed in the plate). I know this isn't much to go on, but perhaps it is a start to know that there is information out there. I too am always looking for information in regards to "Velazquez" and another Dali that I have, "the Battle of Tetuan" marked (roman numeral 1) then 267/275 and signed (in pencil) on the right. I belive it to be a stone lithograph and it does have the pale blue arm holding a sword in the margin at the middle. Thanks for your time and if I find any more information, I'll be happy to pass it along...jerry" |
| Question from Abby Bergman from ???: "I recently purchased a signed litho by Dali-- one of his "Signs of the Zodiac". I imagine that they were a common series...Do you know anything about the series, e.g. when was it executed, the number of prints in the series, etc..." |
| Omega: It maybe a common series but I could not find any info on it. If anyone out there has any information to help out Abby, please E-Mail me. |
| Question from Larry from Canada: "...I have a question regarding "The Cosmic Athlete" by Dali. I was wondering if you know where the painting resides, and if you know of any reproductions of it that can be obtained..." | |
![]() |
Omega: All I could find on "The Cosmic Athlete" was the scan. If anyone out there has any information to help out Larry, please E-Mail me. |
| Update by Martin from Berne, Switzerland: "Dear Larry, The painting "The Cosmic Athlete" (1960) by Salvador Dali resides in Spain: Palacio de la Zarzuela (Patrimoni Nacional Espanyol), Madrid. Please note that I found this information in a book written not in Spanish but in Catalan: "400 obres de Salvador Dali de 1914 a 1983"; Generalitat de Catalunya / Ministerio de Cultura; page 222, No. 386. This book is an exhibition catalog. (That's why the spelling is somewhat different that correct Spanish spelling...) I do not know whether this painting is accessible for the public in Madrid, neither do I know if there are any notable reproductions available. I possess one small card with a reproduction of this painting; this card was printed in Switzerland." | |
| Question from Laurens from Belgium: "I would like to know the links between Salvador Dali and Sigmund Freud. I would also like to know whether Freud has had some influence on Dali his way of working." |
| Omega: Dali was introduced to Freud by Stefan Zweig. Dali met Sigmund Freud a few days after arriving in London on July 19, 1938 which was the only time they met. Dali compared Freud's skull to a Burgundian snail. After meeting Dali, Freud no longer thought of the surrealists as "total madmen". Dali credited Freud for being able to appreciate Wagner as he wrote in 1939, "So that, if, on the one hand, I exalt and I bring the genius of Wagner up to date again, on the other hand, I believe in paying homage to Freud who made it possible for me to SEE Wagner". Freud's influence on Dali ended there I believe. Dali painted a few portraits of Freud: |
| Portrait Of Freud (1937) India ink and gouache on gray background, 13 3/4 x 9 7/8" which was made
before his encounter with Freud Portrait Of Freud (1938) India ink on white blotting paper, 24 x 18 7/8" it resides in a private collection Portrait Of Freud (1938) India ink on blotting paper 10 5/8 x 9 1/16" it resides in a private collection and was done in Freud's presence at the July meeting Portrait Of Freud (1938) Ink on paper, 11 5/8 x 10 7/16" it resided in the former collection of Edward James Foundation, West Dean, Great Britain. |
| Question from Disco5840 from ???: "I'm helping my daughter... Forgive my ignorance, but who was Freud? what was the relantionship between Freud and Dali? Please give me some information... Thanks" |
| Omega: Freud was a famous psychiatrist and some would call him the father of this field. See above for more detail. |
