Work was completed by Nall in Paris, France at a time when he studied with and lived with Salvador Dali in his studio. Seller found it online and purchased the two works separately. Seller contacted Nall and made arrangements for him to combine the two works into a single composition. This was when the two pieces became one, as he had meant them to be.

Art Brokerage: Nall American Artist: b. 1949. A Southern American artist with an international following, Nall has a unique style that has captivated the attention of the world. In 1971, Nall was awarded top score entrance at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris. Surrounded by painters, musicians, and writers, he excelled among his contemporaries. At that point, he was mentored by Spanish Surrealist, Salvador Dali, who advised him to "Draw from life, draw, again and again…" He was also inspired by American psychedelic art, fauvism, impressionism and Japanese wash drawings but then returned to basic black and white drawing and on concentrating on building a solid artistic foundation on drawing skills. Nall's art reflects his surroundings. In 1974 he went to Beirut, Lebanon and North Africa. Fascinated by Arabic and Byzantine architecture, Alabama quilts, geometric form and Mondrian's compositions, he segmented his works. In 1976 he moved to Nice, France where he symbolized pomegranates and flowers in many works–metamorphosing bones and insects. A turning point in Nall's life came in July of 1986 when he bought Jean Dubuffet's studio in Vence, France, and began publishing his own line engraving, having apprentices which later led to purchasing the Karoly Foundation and rechristening it the N.A.L.L. Art Association. This seven acre estate is nestled in a small valley between Vence and Saint Paul de Vence, France. Sheltered under its olive groves, the estate has cabins and studios for artists and a studio-museum designed and built by Nall. His 3 porcelain patterns "Tuscia's Roses", "Mediterranean Gold", and "Sunrise Mosaic" produced by R. Havilland & C. Parlon of Limoges, France have been exhibited at international porcelain fairs at the Caroussel du Louvre in Paris, in Stuttgart, Germany, in the "Chateau do Bagatelle" in Neully, at "Podium" boutique in Moscow, and in New York's "Arts and Crafts Museum" together with his Murano Glassware in a group show "Murano Memories." The Tunisian Porcelain Company has produced for the Puccini Festival Fondazione's "La Rondine" opera a tea service including a coffee mug and square plate". Monaco Porcelain Makers have produced for the Monaco Women's Lions Club a limited edition Artist collection of two "Vides Poches", represented by his signature tulip and pansy. Listings wanted.
