**Originally Listed At $1800**
Salvador Dali (Spanish, 1904-1989), Vermeer de Delft La Lettre, signed in pencil on lower right, also signed in plate, numbered 91/350, an original lithograph on Arches paper (with watermark) published by Sidney Lucas, 1974. Vermeer's La Lettre is one of six works from the "Changes in Great Masterpieces" series. Master Dali has given us a most original and provocative concept. His contention is that most of us "look" but do not actually "see" the details in a work of art. For this reason Dali has honored six great paintings by selecting these masterworks to which he has made specific changes to tantalize the viewer into studying and comparing the original with his composition; a representation of the original painting also appears for this purpose. To further give us an example of Dalinean wit, he has provided a "remark" on each graphic in the form of an original lithograph relating to the actual subject. A superb limited edition lithograph signed in pencil by the artist and in excellent condition. Size: 29.25" L x 30.75" W (74.3 cm x 78.1 cm)
"Changes In Great Masterpieces" is composed of six lithographs in which Dali reinterprets five paintings by Rembrandt, Vermeer, Raphael, and Velasquez (two by Velasquez). Dali considered these paintings to be the most important European masterpieces of the 17th Century. In typical Dali fashion, he also included himself in his pantheon of great master painters. The final, sixth work in the suite is his reinterpretation of his own masterpiece, "The Persistence of Memory".
