Oil painting certified as early work by Dali
An oil painting sold at a Spanish antique shop over two decades ago for around 150 euros has been certified as Salvador Dali’s first Surrealist work which he painted as a teenager, art experts said Thursday. 西班牙古董店20年前以約150歐元售出的一幅油畫,經證實為達利在青少年繪製的第一幅超現實主義作品,專家週四表示。
Tomeu L’Amo, a painter and art historian, found the canvas at a store in Girona in northeastern Spain in 1988. 畫家兼藝術史家拉莫表示,他在1988年於西班牙東北部的吉諾納一家商店找到這幅畫。
It was dismissed for years as the work of an unknown artist because the signature includes the date 1896 -- eight years before Dali was born. 這幅畫有數年都被認為是無名藝術家的作品,因為簽名中包含1896日期,早於達利誕生年8年。
But after subjecting the painting to the latest high-tech tests -- including infrared photography, X-rays and ultraviolet radiation -- between 2004 and 2013 art experts have concluded that it is indeed the work of Dali and was made around 1921 when he was 17-years-old. 但經過2004年到2013年最新科技測試後,包括紅外線攝影、X光與紫外線照射,藝術專家們做出結論認為,該畫確定是達利在1921年、17歲時的作品。
L’Amo said he sold the work earlier this month for an amount which he refused to reveal to a collector who wishes to remain anonymous. 拉莫說本月稍早他把這幅畫賣了,跟收藏家說好不對外透露價錢。
"The painting can be considered the first surrealist work of Dali," said a leading Dali expert who has studied the painting. 該畫可視為達利的第一幅超現實作品,研究過該畫的頂尖達利專家說。
