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!
This painting originated in a climate dominated by the Munich Conference of 1938, where the telephone played a role of great importance. The title alludes to the looming threat of war, which was temporarily averted through the treaty sealing the annexation of the German-speaking regions of Czechoslovakia by Germany. In this precisely detailed, disquieting still life a damaged telephone receiver is suspended above a plate with two fried eggs in the midst of a barren coastal landscape reminiscent of the view from Dali’s house in Port Lligat. Everything is caught in a state of suspension, barely held up by thin supporting sticks or branches. The telephone receiver seems to exude a magical power – as if the rim of the plate were being sucked up towards it, only to melt into a large drop that touches the razor blade held in place below, which in turn seems ready to slice into the yolk of the egg on the right in the very next moment (perhaps an allusion to the forced partition of Czechoslovakia).
The hallucinatory sharpness of the objects and their surreal juxtaposition and metamorphosis (the softened plate) engender a disturbing mood of crisis. This is overplayed, however, by the artist’s masterful rendering of material phenomena such as the shimmering sardine or the snail – captivating catastrophic beauties with culinary appeal, as only Dali could paint them.
THIS IS THE BEST PRICE YOU WILL FIND ANYWHERE FOR THE SAME PIECE!
