reimagining nature: dalí’s floral fantasies
Join us for this installment of our Coffee with a Curator series, where Museum Staff or invited guests speak on a range of Dalí-inspired topics.
In conjunction with the special exhibition Reimagining Nature: Dalí’s Floral Fantasies, this month’s talk will feature exhibit curator Peter Tush, who will discuss the three rarely displayed suites of botanical prints made by Dalí between 1968 and 1972. This talk will explore the role botanicals play in Dalí’s art, offering prime examples of how the artist transforms traditional renderings of fruits and flowers into new, surreal hybrids.
Location: The Dalí Museum’s Will Raymund Theater (registration required) or live on YouTube (link below).
This event is sold out.
