It belongs to the period when Dal\u00ed was studying at the Special Painting, Sculpture and Engraving School of the Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando in Madrid and was staying at the Students\u2019 Residence. It is a volumetric drawing that presents all the academic formulae, which Dal\u00ed had so thoroughly assimilated in Figueres from his drawing teacher Juan N\u00fa\u00f1ez Fern\u00e1ndez. It clearly shows the principles of light and shade in the graphic portrayal of figure, in this female nude depicted from behind, in one of the classic poses worked upon at drawing academies. Mr Pitxot pointed out the notes that Dal\u00ed himself made on the paper to describe the work. The following text figures by way of description: \u201cBrush-tip drawing \u2013Academia 1923. Madrid. S. Dal\u00ed\u201d. And it bears the dedication: \u201cTo my friend Puig Pujades with all affection. S. Dal\u00ed -1928\u201d. The dedication came after (1928) the date of execution of the drawing itself (1923).<\/div>\n<div>Mr Samaranch stressed the reasons why he had donated this work: firstly, in recognition of the task carried out by the Gala-Salvador Dal\u00ed Foundation, one of Spain\u2019s most important and frequently visited cultural institutions. Secondly, he wished in this way to reward Mr Boixad\u00f3s personally for his participation in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games. We might remember that he had been the Managing Director of Villa Ol\u00edmpica, S.A. For his part, Mr Boixad\u00f3s recognised the essential role of Mr Samaranch, without whom the 1992 Olympic Games would not have been held in Barcelona, and he expressed his thanks for this gesture and for the personal recognition that Mr Samaranch had accorded him. The latter then went on to describe the relationship he had had with Salvador Dal\u00ed. The first occasion was to commission him to design the menu for his wedding to Maria Teresa Salisachs. In return, Dal\u00ed had asked him for two swans from Lake Geneva or else a payment in dollars that Mr Samaranch did not specify. The second meeting between the two men was on the occasion of the Mexico Olympic Games. The then President of the IOC travelled to Portlligat to see a work that they had commissioned of Salvador Dal\u00ed, for exhibition in Mexico in 1968 in representation of Spanish art. That was a large oil painting entitled <em>Cosmic Athlete<\/em>, which is now housed in the office of King Juan Carlos of Spain. Finally, he explained that he had been the owner of the drawing he was donating for some 50 years, and that he had not purchased it directly from the artist himself but through a painter friend.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Description of the work This is a study dating from 1923, a brush-on-paper drawing measuring 16.6 x 6.5 cm.
