In the “Walpurgis Night”, brilliantly illustrated by Dali, the variouis scenes appear within a magic circle, in a chiaroscuro whose acme is most likely the stunning portrait of Faust Reading”, evocative of Rembrandt’s etchings. Alchemical signs, formed by Dali’s inverted signature, add an esoteric dimension to this exceptional interpretation of Goethe’s “Faust”.
Suite of 21 original etchings with roulette, ruby and diamond, published in 1968 – 1969. 15 x 11 in., of which 10 are vignettes.
