The Grand Rapids Art Museum has his "Twelve Tribes" series -- somewhere -- they got a pro curator about 20 years ago, and he looked at what was on the walls, and then looked at the works in storage, and said, uh, why aren't these out? Of the Surrealists, he's the only one I've ever taken seriously as an artist. He got ejected from the Surrealist movement because Andre Breton thought he wasn't sufficiently dedicated to the downfall of Hitler. But anyway, you probably know all this, I'll shuddup now.

I wasn’t familiar with it, but I’ve looked up the lithographs online; very interesting, if a bit Catholic for me.

In addition to my one original Dali, I have a couple of original lithographs — my favorite being the Judgement of Paris — not an expensive piece and a bit scandalous for Mrs. Jewbacca so it is relegated to an inside hallway.

Regarding the 12 tribes, my father bought 12 signed lithographs from a series of 333 that Marc Chagall did of the 12 tribes -— they were sold to fund 12 stained glass windows, ideally destined to be placed in the Temple, should we so blessed to get to build it. I mounted it on raw silver silk mat with a giant gold frame.

Copies (afters) are here:
