The figures of Tristan and Isolde depicted on this subject were
originally painted by Dali in 1944 as a backdrop for the ballet
Bacchanale, performed to Wagner's music and presented for the
first time in 1944 on the stage of the International Theater in New
York. The tale of this ballet, for which Dali wrote the libretto,
began before the war. At that time that title was Mad Tristan.
It was to be performed in Paris with the choreography by Leonide
Massine, the scenery by Prince Charvachidze, and costumes on which
Coco Chanel wished to use real ermine and genuine precious stones.
The war prevented the production in Paris, and later the Marquis
Georges de Cuevas decided to stage the spectacle in New York. "As
with everything else," Dali writes in The Secret Life, "my
Mad Tristan, which was to have been my most successful
theatrical venture, could not be given; so it became Venusberg
and finally Bacchanale, which is the definitive version." The
ballet is favorable ground for Dali to put his paranoiac-critical
method into practice with happy results. Unfortunately, most of the
time his directions were not followed exactly in the production of
the scenery and staging; his ideas often seemed too difficult to
execute in actual practice, they were too costly, and they could not
be accepted under the security rules normally applied to theaters.A
giclée print is the highest quality print available today. Because
there is no visible dot screen pattern the resulting image has all of
the subtle tonalities of the original art. Each dot may have over 4
billion possible colors! Brilliant color and rich texture have made
giclée prints the reproduction of choice for artists, photographers,
museums, galleries, and collectors. Giclée editions are usually smaller
in number than lithography, serigraphy, or offset printing, making them
much more valuable. Unlike traditional printmaking processes, the last
printed image in a giclée edition will be as vibrant and clear as the
first one. This fine art Giclée is as close to a Dali original as
you will find without spending hundreds of thousands of dollars!
