Description:
|
Oil painting on a plaster bust made by German sculptor Paul Hamann, whose signature appears on the back. Salvador Dalí produced three kinds of Surrealist Objects: those involving movement, those known as "dream objects" and the object assemblages. The second type, with no movement and primarily of sculptural value, includes Portrait of Joella, a piece made for exhibition at the Julien Levy Gallery in New York in 1934. The exhibition consisted of paintings, objects and a group of painted plaster casts, including Portait of Joella, a pictorial intervention on a plaster portrait of the gallerist’s wife, Joella Lloyd, produced in 1933 with the mediation of Man Ray (who helped produce the bust).
