Salvador Dalí Illustrates Alice in Wonderland, 1969

Salvador Dalí Illustrates Alice in Wonderland, 1969
By Maria Popova UPDATE: At long last, a restored modern edition of this lost treasure. Also: the best illustrations from 150 years of Alice in Wonderland Last week, we marveled at Leonard Weisgard’s stunning illustrations for the first color edition of Alice in Wonderland, circa 1949. Published by New York’s Maecenas Press-Random House in 1969 and distributed as their book of the month, the volume went on to become one of the most sought-after Dalí suites of all time. As you might expect, the book isn’t exactly easy to acquire — Amazon currently spots just a single copy, handsomely priced at $12,900, and there’s even a video tutorial on what to look for when you hunt for this treasure: But the collaboration brought together two of the most exceptional creators of Western culture, both ticklers or curiosity and architects of the imagination, and who can really put a price tag on that?

Tous pour l'art - la chaîne culturelle européenne ARTE propose dès maintenant des leçons en ligne autour du thème de l'art. Thèmes et argumentaires sur l'art contemporain "Qu'est-ce que l'art?" ou "Qu'est ce que de l'art réussi?" - Dans ce workshop nous ne pourrons pas donner de réponses concrètes à ces questions complexes, du moins pas directement. Le workshop s'articule autour d'une sélection de questions sur le monde de l'art contemporain. Venez découvrir les arguments d'artistes, de galeristes, de collectionneurs ou de commissaires d'exposition et faites-vous votre propre idée sur les rouages du monde de l'art contemporain. Toutes les trois semaines, une nouvelle thématique et une nouvelle leçon vous attendent. Êtes-vous prêts à vous lancer dans l'aventure?
