10 Dry Point Etchings with Gold Dust

Dalís ten dry point etchings with gold overlay illustrate the poems "Les Amours Jaunes" of Tristan Corbière. The technique Dalí developed to refine the image into ornament with 24 carat gold dust makes this work a sought-after collector's item. The gold serves to emphasize the erotic components and to glamorise voyeurism which are contained in Corbières poems.
