DEEDS CALENDAR: Disruption and Devotion. Dalì’s confrontation with art of the past – Museum of Fine Arts Boston | until 01.12.2024
The whimsical and iconoclastic artist Salvador Dalí (1904-1989) is famous for his bizarre paintings, his eccentric behaviour and his unparalleled technical skill. But the famous surrealist was also deeply rooted in tradition. He revered his artistic predecessors, including Dürer, Raphael, El Greco, Vermeer and, above all, Velázquez. The first exhibition of Dalí’s work at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston (MFA), on view through Sunday, 1 December 2024, explores this ongoing engagement with European art of the past. Dalí: Disruption and Devotion features nearly 30 paintings and works on paper on loan from the Salvador Dalí Museum in St. Petersburg, Florida, as well as books and prints from a private collection and works from the MFA’s European collection that inspired him. The unique juxtapositions, presented both in pairs and in small thematic groups, offer a new perspective on one of the most famous artists of the 20th century.
