The Surreal World of Salvador Dalí - Hybrid Program
The Surreal World of Salvador Dalí - Hybrid Program
Works by Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí are slated for exhibition in Chicago in early 2023. Learn about this important painter, filmmaker, and sculptor from art historian Jeff Mishur in this virtual program. Jeff will discuss such Dalí masterpieces as "The Persistence of Memory," "Soft Construction with Boiled Beans (A Premonition of Civil War)," and "Apparition of a Face and Fruit Dish on a Beach." Mishur will also discuss Dalí's role within the 20th century Surrealist art movement and especially the relationship between dream imagery and the artist's best known works.
