Melting clocks, an abundance of insects, disproportionate animals, and desert landscapes-these images have become the hallmarks of Salvador Dali. What lies behind them and what meanings they carry will be revealed to the listeners of the lecture dedicated to the work of the great surrealist. Participants of the meeting will immerse themselves in the amazing artistic world of the famous Spanish painter together with art historian Aseya Zanegina. Analyzing the plots of legendary paintings, guests will learn about Dali's paranoid-critical method of painting, the concept of nuclear mysticism, as well as the features of one of the most mysterious directions in art-surrealism. Listeners will uncover the secrets of the artist's creativity and life, with special attention given to his outrageous antics, collaborations with outstanding filmmakers, and astonishing fantastical images. Details and ticket purchases can be found on the website. The ticket grants access to the exhibition "Dali and Picasso" on the day of the event.
