This exhibition explores the profound relationship between Salvador Dalí's visual poetry and the writings of Sigmund Freud. It examines how Freud's theories influenced Dalí's artistic development, from his early years to his later works, with a particular focus on their 1938 meeting.
The exhibition "Universo freudiano Dalí" delves into the fundamental connection between Salvador Dalí's visual output and the groundbreaking writings of Sigmund Freud. This relationship, nurtured by the experiences of Dalí's childhood and adolescence, became an obsession that culminated in a significant interview between the artist and the psychoanalyst in 1938. Dalí gained access to Freud's work in the early 1920s, and by 1926, his art began to align with Surrealism, heavily influenced by the Viennese doctor. Curated by Jaime Brihuega, the exhibition aims to shed new light on Dalí's diverse and prolific career. The artist's fascination with Freud and their 1938 encounter serve as the central theme, offering a reinterpretation of his entire artistic journey. Organized into seven chronological sections, each linked to pivotal moments in Dalí's biography, the exhibition showcases Dalí's works that engage with Freudian thought. These are complemented by significant paintings and drawings from artists such as Jean Arp, Arnold Böcklin, Max Ernst, Jean-François Millet, Pablo Picasso, Santiago Ramón y Cajal, Julio Romero de Torres, Gino Severini, and Yves Tanguy, providing a broader context for Dalí's exploration of the subconscious and its artistic manifestation.
