But the short and somewhat babbling preface by the printer, Richard Breton even so reveals everything that can be told about this curious collection of prints.”

Monster Brains: Images from Dreams of Pantagruel, a portfolio of lithographs by Salvador Dali (1973) based on Les Songes drolatiques de Pantagruel. Also available as a set on Flickr.

Prints are available for sale at the Lockport Street Gallery:

In 1973, Dali published 25 lithographs that were taken from gouaches + felt pencil on illustrations. The edition was published by Carpentier. These lithographs are signed by Dali and are from suites from the edition 250 printed on Japon paper. The sheet size is 76 x 54 cm with an image size of 65 x 48 cm. No names have been assigned the work (as can be imagined), and they are designated using the alphabetical notation of Field.

Available for sale are: 1) The complete suite of the Les Songs (Songes) Drolatiques de Pantagruel, text, justification, and portfolio case; 2) Separate individual lithographs that come from a different suite.

Composé par moy François Rabelais, Docteur en Medecine, et Professeur en astrologie.

“Despite the fragmentary nature of what survives, there is no doubt as to the authenticity of the two almanacs which he [Antoine Le Roy,Rabelaesina Elogia, Bibliothèque Nationale, MS lat., no 8704] quotesl in particular, regarding this edition, the extracts given describe the state of the sky as it was for the years to which they apply: for instance the conjunctions of the moon and the planets.

“While Rabelais did not sign the first two books of his giant story, he was legally obliged to state his responsibility for his Almanachs.

“It is not known whether Rabelais was indeed ‘professeur en astrologie,’ although his astrological knowledge was evidently highly regarded, for instance, in a poem of Salmon Macrin cited by Marcel de Grève, L’Interprétation de Rabelais au XVIe siècle, ER, 3, 1961.”
