ORGANIZED BY: Museo Reina Sofía and Centre Pompidou, Paris, in collaboration with the Salvador Dalí Museum Saint Petersburg (Florida). With the special collaboration of the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí, Figueres. CHIEF CURATOR: Jean-Hubert Martin CURATORS: Montse Aguer (exhibition at the Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid), Jean-Michel Bouhours and Thierry Dufrêne COORDINATOR: Aurora Rabanal The Museo Reina Sofía presents a major exhibition dedicated to Salvador Dalí, one of the most comprehensive shows yet held on the artist from Ampurdán. Gathered together on this unique occasion are more than 200 works from leading institutions, private collections, and the three principal repositories of Salvador Dalí’s work, the Fundació Gala-Salvador Dalí (Figueres), the Salvador Dalí Museum of St. Petersburg (Florida), and the Museo Reina Sofía (Madrid), which in this way are joining forces to show the public the best of their collections. The exhibition, a great success with the public when shown recently at the Centre Pompidou in Paris, aims to revalue Dalí as a thinker, writer and creator of a peculiar vision of the world. One exceptional feature is the presence of loans from leading institutions like the MoMA (New York), which is making available the significant work The Persistence of Memory (1931); the Philadelphia Museum of Art, which is lending Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (Premonition of Civil War) (1936); the Tate Modern, whose contribution is Metamorphosis of Narcissus (1937); and the Musées Royaux des Beaux-Arts, Belgium, the lender of The Temptation of St Anthony (1946).

  • Dalí I La Formiga
    Dalí and the ant: face to face with the superior being To refer to Salvador Dalí and animals is to identify one of the prevailing iconographic motifs of his works, as already observed in one of his early paintings from 1915, when he was only eleven years old. The artist’s compositions doesn’t only feature cats, dogs, birds and fish, but also increasingly more exotic animals such as elephants and rhinoceroses as well as, of course, insects: locusts, flies and ants. These all appear repeatedly in his work, each one having its own symbolism. The ant, one of the animals most admired by Dalí, was represented in his artistic repertoire from the late nineteen-twenties until nearly the end of his career as a painter. It is therefore the animal highlighted here, as it was always given special emphasis and was of particular fascination for the painter. Salvador Dalí joined the surrealist group in 1929. Although surrealism was a movement composed mainly of writers, it also eventually brought together painters and sculptors. From this period on, ants start to commonly appear in a number of Dalí’s works such as The Lugubrious Game, The Great Masturbator, Accommodations of Desire, Gala, The Persistence of Memory and Surrealist Composition with Invisible Figures. i The symbolism surrounding the painter’s work isn’t simple. In the oil painting The Great Masturbator, Dalí uses ants to show his desires and, at the same time, the horrors that haunt him: the ant represents the putrefaction he fears so much. In his autobiography The Secret Life of Salvador Dalí, published in 1942, the painter offers some clues as to the blend of attraction and repulsion that these insects inspired in him: [...] The next morning a frightful spectacle awaited me.

    The Great Masturbator, 1929 Oil / canvas, 110 x 150.5 cm Signed and dated at lower left corner: “Salvador Dalí 1929” Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid. Dalí Legacy An iconic work by Salvador Dalí and among the first paintings we may consider as belonging to the painter’s surrealist period. A movement that emerged in France in 1924, surrealism was to influence literature and the plastic arts, being highly important in poetry and painting. Heir to Dadaism, whose taste for provocation it retains, surrealism might also be seen as the spiritual progeny of romanticism and symbolism, whose values, lyricism, melancholy nostalgia and faith in the ability of art to transform the world it conserves. André Breton, who wrote the first surrealist manifesto (1924), was the father of this movement. He proposed mental automatism, the aim of which was to express in speech, writing or in any other manner the true working of thought. Surrealism is based on the world of dreams and the subconscious, thereby linking it with Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalysis. Going beyond overturning traditions, the surrealists overturn values. They set up their own gallery of forebears, and they reinstate or exalt poets and artists who had been spurned or rejected in the name of good taste. They accord little value to all that is bright, harmonious, well-balanced and purified, and thus glorify all that is hermetic, amazing, hybrid and compound. As we can read in the first manifesto, they therefore drew up their own imaginary genealogical tree for the history of art, in which the main branches are: Hieronymus Bosch, Brueghel the Elder, Arcimboldo and Francisco de Goya.

  • 1 Surreal Love by Salvador Dali Reflections on Salvador Dali, Man's
    Profile of time By Prof. Paul S. Cutter Surreal Love by Salvador Dali Reflections on Salvador Dali, man's place in the vast Cosmos, and some current sociopolitical observations et al… St. Stefan, Montenegro - Europe 2008 1 Graphic Preface Dali's clock in London makes an interesting contrast to Big Ben situated on the other side of the Thames. Passage of time 2 Preface For Dali this surrealism was more than an art style or a philosophy; it was a part of his belief-system, his modus operandi. Dali expressed surrealism in everything he said and did through- out his life. He was not just unconventional and dramatic; he was fantastic, shocking, and outrageous! He was an artist who loved to stir up controversy, to instigate scandal and upheaval, all of which worked to his advantage to establish the image of an eccentric and paranoid genius, thereby creating legendary pathos. For Dali it was all part of his adopted role as agent provocateur to the bourgeoisie, his ongoing mission to undercut our safe, complacent view of what is real. Salvador Dali remains one of the great artistic innovators of all time. Like Picasso, Matisse, Miro, and Chagall, his place at the pinnacle of modern art history is assured. Salvador Dali is, without doubt, the most famous surrealist of all time. His painting, The Persistence of Memory (fig.42) almost stands alone as a symbol of the creative movement. The melted clocks represent the strange warping of time which occurs when we enter the dream state, the subconscious state of mind.

  • Tarsila Do Amaral's Abaporu
    © Michele Greet, 2015 Devouring Surrealism: Tarsila do Amaral’s Abaporu Michele Greet Various scholars have suggested a contiguity or affinity between Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral’s iconic painting Abaporu (1928) and surrealism; none have engaged in an in-depth analysis of her actual relationship with surrealism, however. This close reading of Abaporu will demonstrate that Amaral deliberately and systematically engaged with the tenets and formal languages of surrealism. Her engagement was not one of pure emulation; instead she turned the surrealists’ penchant for satire and desire to disrupt hierarchical schema back on itself, parodying the images and ideas put forth by the movement to create a counter modernism. Amaral’s sardonic appropriation of surrealism’s formal languages and subversive strategies was the very factor that made Abaporu the catalyst of the anthropophagite Movement. On 11 January 1928 the Brazilian artist Tarsila do Amaral presented a painting to her husband, the writer and intellectual Oswald de Andrade, for his birthday. Amaral described the painting, which Andrade would later entitle Abaporu (Fig. 1), or ‘person who eats,’ as: ‘a monstrous figure, with enormous feet planted on the Brazilian earth next to a cactus.’1 Scholars have long acknowledged Abaporu as a crucial work in Amaral’s career as well as an icon of early twentieth-century Latin American art. The painting marked the beginning of her anthropophagite phase, a period from about 1928 until 1930 during which Amaral departed from the densely packed compositions of urban São Paulo and the Brazilian countryside that characterized her Pau-Brazil period to paint scenes of one or two isolated figures in lush tropical dreamscapes.2 Despite the dream-like quality of these pictures, Amaral’s engagement with surrealism in Abaporu (and the other paintings of the period), while occasionally acknowledged, has not been fully interrogated.
