Exhibition of the great mystifier and surrealist Salvador Dali "Cryptography"

An exhibition from private collections as part of a long-term cooperation was provided to the Irkutsk Art Museum by the Art Bank Exhibition Center from St. Petersburg. For the first time, Irkutsk citizens will be able to see several graphic series of the master. The exhibition includes 60 color graphic works by Salvador Dali from collections of private collectors and galleries in Europe and America. The exposition includes lithographs from the Carmen series (8 selected works from a unique edition of 1968), Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (12 works, 1969/1984), Dalinian horses (18 works, 1972/1983 years), as well as 20 illustrations for the story of Pedro de Alarcon "The Triangle", made in the technique of woodcut in 1958. The collection is crowned by the magnificent triptych “The Trilogy of Love” (1976), which has become the cherished dream of collectors from all over the world. Salvador Dali. Great hoaxer. A genius or a madman. A master who turned his own life into a legend in which fantasies are inseparable from genuine memories, and the true face of the artist is hidden under the usual mask of an eccentric. What makes up the mysterious image of genius, what makes up the secret message of his work? Perhaps from subtle childhood memories, magical stories and dreams? Or from strong bonds connecting the “true Spaniard” with his native country, with its traditions, passions and mysticism? Or maybe the root of everything is love for a woman who has become for Salvador Dali not just a spouse, but a "talisman, jewel, totem, Madonna, mother"? Or, finally, the key to the heart and mind - the artist’s dreams filled with magic: frightening, mystical, erotic dreams - dreams in which the mind is “freed from the shackles of logic and common sense”?
