Exhibits

Initiated in 1992, this annual art exhibit presents work by middle and high school students whom we invite to explore ideas and visions similar to those explored by Salvador Dalí and the surrealists.

Dalí & Film is the first exhibit examining the profound relationship between the paintings and films of Dalí, revealing how he combined his skills in painting with the new possibilities of the moving image.

A selection of over 90 works from the permanent collection (painting, drawing, watercolors, prints and objects) representative Dalí’s various creations of the female image.

Lam contributed a non-European Afro-Cuban voice to Western art, synthesizing Cubism, Surrealism, “primitivism,” Négritude, Afro-Cuban history, and the African-derived Santeria religion.

Seeing how Freud drew on his knowledge of classical mythology in his psychoanalytic theories, Dalí constructed his own artistic identity by employing his understanding of these myths and symbols in his art and writing.
