Salvador Dali - Divine Comedy - Ecstatic Visions


Salvador Dali Ecstatic Visions

Salvador Dali Ecstatic Visions is a woodblock print. It is from the Divine Comedy book. It is Purgatory #13 and comes with its own Canto. There were 4765 French edition books printed. So that means there are many more than 4765 of this print. This is because some of the books have sets of extra prints. If you like the print, buy it. Don’t think it is an investment.

The woodblock process:

A woodblock is exactly that. Cutting tools carve an image into a block of wood. The carving creates a relief pattern. That is the uncut part of the wood is printed. The Salvador Dali The Proud One required 34 separate woodblocks to create the final woodblock. Printing one woodblock added the color wash laid on the woodblock. The entire printing process can been seen as a decomposition. I show an example of a decomposition of the main Divine Comedy page.
