Private collection, Melbourne
The sets of six tiles, measuring 20 centimeters in width, are known as "La Suite Catalane," named after the Spanish region that Dalí originates from. Inspired by his paintings, these tiles display expressive and free-flowing designs such as lips, birds, and a sun, using a vibrant selection of primary colors and soft pastels. One tile, particularly noteworthy, is titled "L'e´toile de Mer," which embodies Dalí's distinctive style by depicting a crimson, four-legged starfish sprawled across a sandy landscape.
