Dalí: The Late Work
August 7, 2010–January 9, 2011
Salvador Dalí's larger-than-life personality is as well known as his art. Although he is known primarily as a Surrealist, this exhibition focuses on Dalí's later work, following his ejection from the Surrealist group in 1934, which propelled him to reinvent himself as a "classicist." From 1940 to 1983 Dalí's work showcased his enduring fascination with science, religion, optical effects, and illusionism. Students will be engaged, inspired, and excited as they examine nearly 100 of his works including paintings, drawings, jewelry, sculptures, and prints.
Audio Guides: Your students will learn about Salvador Dalí's artworks from a close inside source—his mustache! Each student will receive their own audio guide and headset. In the spirit of Dalí, groups are encouraged to create mustaches prior to their visit and wear them to see the exhibition.
