The exhibitions will be held in Barcelona and are sponsored by the La Caixa Foundation. A whole series of exhibitions actually will be held around the world, everywhere from the United States to the Netherlands. The Barcelona gallery will display some 400 items of Dali's work.
Including them are the following Dali paintings:
"Retrospective bust of the woman" (1933)
Surrealistic subject. Despite of huge bread and cobs - fertility symbols, Salvador as though underlines the price to which all it is given: on the face of the woman full n away by ants.
"The woman with a head from roses" (1935)
The head from roses is mostly tribute Archimboldo, to the artist hotly favored by surrealists. Арчимбольдо long before avant-guard occurrence as it is painted portrait of court gentlemen, using vegetables and fruit for their drawing up (a nose-eggplant, hair from wheat and so forth). It (as well as Bosch) was something like the surrealist to surrealism.
"Soft Construction with Boiled Beans" (Premonition of Civil War) (1936)
Written as well in the same year «Autumn Cannibalism», it is a picture - horror of the Spaniard understanding that occurs to its country and where it moves. This painting is similar to "Guernica" of Spaniard Pablo Picasso.
"Solar table" (1936) and "The Poetry of America" (1943)
When advertising had entered into life of all and everyone, the Dali sorts to it for creation of special effect, such as unostentatious cultural shock. In the first painting, he accidentally drops on sand a pack of cigarettes «CAMEL», and in the second - uses the "Coca-Cola" bottle.
"Venus Milosskaya with boxes" (1936)
The most known Dalian subject. The idea of boxes is present and in his painting. As acknowledgement to that can serve «the Giraffe in fire» (1936-1937), «Anthromorfic locker» (1936) and other pictures.
"The Slave Market with Disappearing Bust of Voltaire" (1938)
One of the most known "optical" pictures of the Dali in which he skilfully plays with color associations and a sight angle. Other extremely known work of a similar sort is «Gala, looking at the Mediterranean Sea, on distance of twenty meters turns to a portrait of Avraam of the Lincoln» (1976).
"Dream Caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate a Second Before Awakening" (1944)
The sensation of ease and instability of an event is inherent in this bright picture. On background - a long-legged elephant. He/she is the character there is and in other works, like «The temptation of St Anthony» (1946).
Naked Dali, beholding five ordered bodies, turning to corpuscles from which it is unexpectedly made Leda Leonardo, impregnated by Gala’s face (1950)
One of many pictures related to the period of during Salvador’s engagement with physics. It breaks images, subjects and persons into spherical corpuscles or certain similarity rhinoceros horns (one more obsession shown in diary records). And if as an example of the first reception serves «Galatea with spheres» (1952) or the given picture on the second «Explosion of a head of Raphael» (1951) is constructed.
Corpus hypercubus - painting representing the crucifixion of the Christ. Dali addresses to religion (and also mythologies, as an example to that the Colossus of Rodos » (1954) and writes bible plots in his own way, introducing in pictures a considerable share of mysticism. Wife Gala becomes the indispensable character now of "religious" pictures. Nevertheless, the Dali does not limit to himself and allows writing enough provocative things. Such, as «Young Virgin Auto-Sodomized by the Horns of Her Own Chastity» (1954).
"The Last Supper" (1955)
The famous painting showing one of the bible scenes. Many researchers argue till now on value of the so-called "religious" period in Dali’s creativity. Pictures «Gvadalupean Mother of god» (1959), «Opening of America by effort of a dream of Christopher Columbus» (1958-1959) and «the Universal cathedral» (1960) (on which Dali painted himself) - bright representatives of painting of that time.
"Last Supper” is one of the most surprising paintings of the master. Presented on it are the set of a scene of the Bible (the Supper itself, walking of the Christ on water, the crucifixion, prayer before Judas treachery) which are surprisingly combined, intertwining with each other. It is necessary to tell, that the bible theme in Salvador’s works, takes a powerful position. The artist tried to find the God in the surrounding world, in himself, representing the Christ the center of the Universe ("the Christ of San Juan de la Cruz", 1951). |
