Salvador Dalí
The exhibition consists of a collection of Dalí's drawings, spanning from 1920 to 1971, allowing us to visualize the author's creative career.
The artistic journey begins with “La dona amb orenetes” from 1920, which probably portrays Dalí's sister, who, together with Gala, was a model on several occasions.
Also in the 20s, two cubist works stand out, which are an authentic visual jewel.
From 1937 he included an ink study for the painting “The Invention of Monsters”, in which the surrealist Dalí is appreciated.
While in New York, Dalí drew “Pescadores de Port lligat”, realized, probably in a moment of nostalgia, and “Cronos brandant dos monstres tous i la ballarina”, study by Walt Disney's animation project. It is a drawing in Chinese ink on paper from the Disney company, motivated by a collaboration between the founder and the surrealist genius.
From 1979, is exhibited a “Self-portrait”, linked to the Angeles Olympics medal project, which ultimately did not materialize. From the same year it is also interesting, the illustration “Ich Danke Meinen Freuden in Deutscheland”, for the article “Salvador Dalí” from the magazine Die Kunst.
All of these works come from a private collection and allow us to see the artistic evolution of the surrealist genius through his drawings.
