Exhibition of Salvador Dali “SIRREAL MATERIALIZATION” in the Project Exposition Sector (C), from 16th November 2013 till 18th January 2014.
Salvador Dalī (May 11, 1904 – January 23, 1989) Spanish painter, graphic artist, sculptor, filmmaker, writer – one of the most famous representatives of surrealism. Salvador Dali was primarily an intellectual painter who showed viewers his theories and ideas through his works of art. In his opinion, it was more important to show not what the human eye sees, but rather what a person feels, thinks and experiences, perhaps not realizing it.
The exhibition aims to help viewers see and understand how S. Dali materialised his surreal ideas and beliefs in his peculiar and original language of art.
