Paul Delvaux, (born September 23, 1897, Antheit, Liège, Belgium—died July 20, 1994, Veurne), Belgian Surrealist painter and printmaker whose canvases typically portray transfixed nudes and skeletons in mysterious settings. From 1920 to 1924 Delvaux studied architecture and painting at the Académie des Beaux-Arts in Brussels. His early work was influenced by Post-Impressionism and Expressionism, but after discovering the work of Salvador Dalí, Giorgio de Chirico, and his fellow Belgian René Magritte, Delvaux converted to a Surrealist style in the mid-1930s. He traveled through Italy before World War II, and the Classical architecture he encountered there developed into recurring motifs in his work.

Construction d'un Temple en Ruine - Plate n. 4 - Etching by Paul Delvaux - 1971

Construction d'un Temple en Ruine - Plate n. 4 - Etching by Paul Delvaux - 1971

By Paul Delvaux

Located in Roma, IT

Construction d’un temple – Plate n. 4  is a b/w original etching and dry-point  realized in 1971 (as reported on plate on the lower right margin) by Paul Delvaux. From the collection “ Construction d’un temple en ruine à la déesse Vanadé ”, this original print originated from the collaboration that lasted four years among the French author, a member of the Nouveau-Roman group  Alain Robbe-Grillet (1922-2008), and the Belgian artist Paul Delvaux (1897-1994). Firstly, Robbe-Grillet wrote a text, to which Delvaux replied with a wonderful engraving; Robbe-Grillet then responded with a second text. This is how the building blocks of this outstanding book merged together:  it was constructed like a temple.  The book was printed in an edition of 187 copies, of which  only 40 contain the illustrations by Paul Delvaux.   Our copy is unnumbered and printed on  “Arches”  ivory colored paper with the  Bateau Lavoir watermark  (on the lower right corner), and  “Richard Bas ” watermark (on the lower left margin). This beautiful artwork, representing an enigmatic composition with seven women pictured like ancient Greek marble...
