Salvador Dalí works on his experiments with the sea urchin (oursin) holding a swanfeather or a dried flower and moving backwards and forewards thus marking the blackened paper. These experiments he is carrying out at his studio in his Spanish home at Portlligat, Cadaqués, on the Costa Brava 1957.
In his Portlligat studio in 1957, Salvador Dalí conducts an experiment with a sea urchin. Captured in profile, the artist wears his signature mustache, glasses, and a soft hat as he holds a board centered with a single white feather. Before him, a table is arranged with the tools of his process: a collection of sea urchin shells, various glasses, and blackened paper. For these works, Dalí would use an urchin to move the feather back and forth, creating marks on the paper’s surface.
