SALVADOR DALÍ (1904–1989) The Father Forgiven from La Vida es Sueño 1975 Original etching on Arches France paper, made for the suite La Vida es Sueño, inspired by Pedro Calderón de la Barca’s famous work. The composition presents at the top an elaborate architectural and literary structure accompanied by surrealist caligraphic elements, while in the lower area there is a linear-sketched equestrian figure, characteristic of Dalí’s graphic language. Dalí’s signature incorporated into the plate. High-quality paper with ragged (barbed) edges. The sheet retains generous margins. Sheet measures: approx. 38 × 28 cm. Technique: etching on Arches paper. Date: 1975. Series: La Vida es Sueño. Signature: signature on the plate. Reference: Field 73-1; related to the Michler/Löpsinger cataloguing of the series. Good overall condition, with the natural wear typical of the paper and its age. Provenance: Enrique Sabater, friend and secretary to Salvador Dalí during his period of close collaboration with the artist, according to provenance provided by the owner. An interesting example of Dalí’s graphic production from the seventies, particularly attractive for preserving intact the bifolio of the original edition and for its provenance.
